Goodbye!

And with that, India's campaign comes to an end at the China Open.

Earlier, Kidambi Srikanth lost his quarter-final match to world champion Kento Momota.

Sindhu is still suffering from the effects of a taxing schedule. This match again showed that.

That doesn't take anything away from Chen, though. She played a perfect game for most part of the decider to deny Sindhu any chance.
