Star Indian shuttler PV Sindhu crashed out of the China Open World Superseries Premier here on Friday losing her quarter-finals match to China’s Gao Fangjie.
The second seed Hyderabadi shuttler was outplayed by Gao 11-21, 10-21 in a one-sided affair which lasted 37 minutes.
Right from the start, Sindhu never looked in the contention. She struggled against the Chinese shuttler and bowed out tamely.
Sindhu entered the quarter-finals stage by beating Han Yue of China 21-15, 21-13 on Thursday.
