New Delhi: In one of the biggest upsets of the Rio Olympics, India's medal hope Saina Nehwal crashed out after suffering a shocking straight-game loss against World No. 61 Maria Ulitina of Ukraine in her second Group G match.
World No. 5 Saina lost 18-21 19-21 to Maria with what seemed to look like an embarrassing defeat, but real reason behind the loss was something else.
