In a one-sided contest Deepika Kumari, the world’s number one archer lost in straight sets against Korean top seed An San in the quarterfinals here on Friday. Deepika loses 0-6 to San in less than 6 minutes.
A San glided through to the semi-finals despite not being at her best on Friday, and Deepika Kumari was never in the competition. It was painful for Deepika, who appeared dissatisfied with her performance after losing in straight sets.
