Overall disappointing results for Indians in Sudirman cup as they failed to win a single tie ... We were in tough group with Korea and Malaysia ... In first tie Saina won her match and then Jwala-Ashwini gave unexpected win ... But we failed to take advantage as Srikanth lost against former WR #1 Lee Chong Wei, who is making comeback after a year ban and frankly speaking our mixed doubles team is non-existent ... In second tie against Korea, only Saina managed to win her match and we lost all other matches of the tie.
