NEW DELHI, Jan. 15 -- Following a semi-final run at Malaysia Open last week, PV Sindhu was confident of her chances at India Open. At the pre-tournament press conference on Monday, the former world champion said she was injury free and fully prepared. But two days later at the IG Indoor Stadium on Wednesday, the world No.12 suffered a first round loss at a tournament she won nine years ago. The double Olympic medallist lost 22-20, 12-21, 15-21 to Thuy Linh Nguyen in 68 minutes. It was Sindhu's third successive loss to the Vietnamese in five meetings. Sindhu started well, taking the first game but lost the second as Nguyen, the world No.23, made a solid comeback. The contest was level at 12-all in the decider when Nguyen started targeting the body, and made rapid attacks at the net to unsettle Sindhu. In a game of rapid pace, it was the 28-year-old Vietnamese who got the upper hand. Sindhu failed to lift the shuttle to slow things down, a tactic she had employed in Kuala Lumpur last week. "I need to be a bit more consistent. I'm giving away easy or continuous points. She has good strokes. She is tricky player, she has good skill," Sindhu said after the loss. A monkey was seen sitting in the stands in the morning. The venue is due to host the BWF World Championships in August. Azlynna A, a member of the Malaysian contingent, put out photos and videos on Instagram, which were further circulated on social media. Another monkey was seen in the stands of the adjacent KD Jadhav Hall that is being used as a practice arena....
