Malvika Bansod lost to Denmark’s Mia Blichfeldt 10-21, 15-21 in the women’s singles final of the Hylo Open, a BWF World Tour Super 300, in Saarbruecken, Germany on Sunday.
The 23-year-old left-handed player has reached the summit clash at this level for the second time in her career. She made it to the final of the Syed Modi India International two years ago where she lost to two-time Olympic medallist and compatriot P.V. Sindhu in straight games.
This was the first-ever meeting between Bansod and the seventh-seeded Blichfeldt.
Bansod, the sixth-seeded Indian, defeated Julie Dawall Jakobsen, another Dane, 23-21, 21-18 in the semifinals.
