Sindhu was no match for her rival, losing 13-21, 9-21 in a one-sided duel that lasted just 32 minutes. Sindhu, seeded third, was not at her usual best and trailed her Japanese opponent from the start in both the games. 

Srikanth, who had beaten compatriot HS Prannoy in the quarter-finals, lost 14-21, 9-21 to Antonsen in 41 minutes in the men’s singles semi-finals.
