Asan (South Korea): Newly-crowned Taipei Open champion Tanvi Sharma led a strong Indian showing in the women's singles, but former world championship silver medallist Kidambi Srikanth suffered an opening-round exit in men's singles as India endured a mixed day at the Korea Masters Super 300 badminton tournament here on Wednesday.
Third seed Tanvi, who recently clinched her maiden BWF World Tour title at the Taipei Open, eased past China's Yuan An Qi 21-16, 21-15 to progress to the second round.
