ODENSE: It’s rare for India’s millionaire shuttler P.V. Sindhu (pic)to lose in the early rounds of an international badminton tournament but she ran out of luck at the Danisa Denmark Open.

Sindhu went down 17-21, 21-16, 18-21 to Zhang Biewen of the United States in the opening round at the Odense Sports Centre but the Indian top shuttler was still wearing a huge smile.
