That's it from us! Stay tuned to Sportskeeda for all the latest updates from the Badminton Asia Championships throughout the day!

Sindhu had a bronze medal in 2014 and was hoping to add to that.

But wasn't able to find the goods today! Sung was just way too accurate and Sindhu probably did not have the energy needed to counter her game after her CWG exploits!

AND SUNG WINS THE MATCH!!!!!

21-19, 21-10 IN 44 MINUTES!!!

THAT IS THE END OF PV SINDHU'S MEDAL HOPES!!!!

10 MATCH POINTS FOR SUNG!!!!!

20-10

It's 19-10 for Sung now

This is looking a lost cause for Sindhu now

Sindhu FINALLY gets a point to stop the Korean march,
but is it too late?

10-18

It's a NINE-POINT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO NOW!!!

18-9

And it is 17-9 now

Sung is firmly in control of this contest now!

Leads 16-9

It's 15-9 for Sung!

Time is running out for Sindhu! Can she come back?

Both are playing fast points now but Sindhu is still behind by a big margin

9-13

Sindhu gets the first point after the break.
8-11

Needless to say, Sindhu is in a difficult position...if she can't get a few points quickly right after the break, it will become an uphill task for her.

It's 11-7 to Sung heading into the mid-game interval.

The fightback from PV Sindhu continues!

She now trails 7-9

Finally Sindhu gets a point at 5-9

The points are getting longer and longer, which is favouring the Korean.

She is up 9-4 now

Sung stretches her lead further to 8-4

A LOT OF HARD WORK AHEAD FOR SINDHU IF SHE WANTS TO STAY ALIVE!!!

Sindhu covers up some ground by getting a couple of points but Sung is still ahead at 7-4

It's 7-2 for the Korean

Wow! Sindhu had a lead at one stage of the match in Game 1 and now things are not looking very good for her

Sindhu loses four points on the trot to send Sung up to 5-1

It's 1-1 in Game 2

From 15-11 to 19-21

That was a roller-coaster from PV Sindhu!

Can she make amends in Game 2?
