NAGPUR: India's fast-rising shuttler Malvika Bansod found Thailand's world No 10 and sixth seed Pornpawee Chochuwong too hot to handle in the second round of Korea Open Super 500 badminton tournament on Thursday.
Having failed to get into her groove, Malvika was humbled by Pornpawee in the first game 8-21. Though the 20-year-old tried to fight her way back in the later part of the second game, it was too late for Malvika to match experienced Pornpawee and was ousted by her higher ranked opponent 14-21. Their second-round women's singles clash lasted for 39 minutes.
