PETALING JAYA: Women’s singles shuttler K. Letshanaa’s fine run in the US Open came to an end in the quarter-finals after she was beaten by India’s Tanvi Sharma on Friday (June 27).

Letshanaa, who was aiming to reach her first-ever Super 300 semi-final, saw her hopes dashed despite facing an opponent ranked only No. 66 in the world.

The 21-year-old went down 13-21, 16-21 in 33 minutes, marking the end of Malaysia’s campaign in the tournament.

Earlier, Letshanaa had impressed with a sensational upset over former world champion Nozomi Okuhara in the first round, followed by a second-round win over India’s Aakarshi Kashyap.

Letshanaa will now shift her focus to the Canadian Open in Markham next week.
