Unnati Hooda, Malvika Bansod, Aakarshi Kashyap Exit Thailand Open; India's Campaign Ends
India's dismal run in elite international badminton tournaments continued, as all remaining shuttlers, including world number 10 women's doubles pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand exited early, ending the country's campaign at the Thailand Open Super 500 in Bangkok on Thursday. Treesa and Gayatri, returned to action following an injury layoff but fell 20-22, 14-21 to Japan's Rui Hirokami and Sayaka Hobara in the second round. With Lakshya Sen having bowed out in the men's singles opening round on Wednesday, Treesa and Gayatri were the last elite Indian players in the fray.
