Unnati Hooda\u2019s World championships debut ended in a three-game defeat (21-11, 19-21, 21-23) to 13th seed Michelle Li in the second round on Wednesday. She took the opening game comfortably, but the deciding game went down to the wire, with Unnati admitting that a handful of errors proved costly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like in between two or three points, I made a few silly mistakes that shouldn\u2019t have been made,\u201d the Indian said. \u201cBecause she\u2019s World No. 13, I think that\u2019s why the silly mistakes [from Michelle] were very few in the critical moments. And whenever she had the chance, she just took it. I have to learn this from playing against the higher-ranked players,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The Canadian, was equally appreciative of the fight the 18-year-old brought to the contest.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s very talented, lots of potential. I think she\u2019s very quick on her feet, and she\u2019s got great shots and she\u2019s a fighter. Today she played really well\u2026I had to grind pretty hard to pull out the win,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
