Ace shuttler Saina Nehwal's poor run in super-series competitions continues after she crashed out of the quarter-finals of the Korea Super Series.

The 21-year-old suffered a straight-games defeat at the hands of sixth seed Yanjiao Jiang of China in Seoul today.
 
The fourth seed Indian lost 17-21 10-21 to the world number six Jiang in a 36-minute battle in the women's singles competition.
 
Saina started off well in the opening game and was leading 5-1, but couldn't sustain the pressure as the Chinese drew parity at 8-8 and then kept widening the gap, moving to 14-10.
 
Saina tried to come back, gaining a few points, but Jiang managed to keep her nose ahead and pocketed the first game.
