Clara Azurmendi lost to the two-time world champion Tzu Ying Tai

The Spanish Clara Azurmendi could not overcome the first round of the Malaysian Badminton Open, in which she had as a rival the Taiwanese Tzu Ying Tai, double world champion and third in the ranking.

Tai only needed 24 minutes to get rid of Azurmendi 21-10 and 21-10, numbers that reflect what happened on the pitch. Tzu Ying Tai was completely unapproachable.

The Olympic and world champion Carolina Marín will debut tomorrow in the tournament against a very difficult rival, the Indian Sindhu Pusarla, whom she has faced fourteen times with a balance of nine wins and five losses. The last one between the two was in March 2021, in the Swiss tournament, and the Huelva woman easily won 21-12 and 21-5

The match against Sindhu Pusarla will be the return to the Spanish circuit after a difficult 2022 for his knee problems.
