Fullerton (USA): India’s campaign at the US Open badminton tournament ended after Sourabh Verma lost his men’s singles semifinal match to Tanongsak Saensomboonsuk of Thailand here Sunday.
The world no. 43 Sourabh lost 9-21, 18-21 against the Thai shuttler in a contest that lasted just 39 minutes.
Sourabh struggled in the first game but gave a tough fight in the second before losing in straight games.
Other Indians in the fray — Parupalli Kashyap, HS Prannoy, Ajay Jayaram and Lakshya Sen — had bowed out of the tournament earlier.
