Didn't expect both Saina and Sindhu would lose in straight games today. Oh well.

Alas, @NSaina too knocked out of Japan Open. But she, @CarolinaMarin, @nozomi_o11 & @Pvsindhu1 make women's badminton's awesome foursome

Sorry to see both Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu knocked out — but each by other champion players. They will have their days yet.

Marin has improved her game a lot, even her physique is much more muscular/powerful than @NSaina . Saina didn't stand a chance against her.
