Anders Antonsen can head home after losing in the first round of India Open. 


Antonsen lost 22-20 21-8 to Sameer Verma from India, and the Dane believes that it was one mistake which cost him the tie but he knows he will learn from it.


- Played a really good first set until 20-18... Lost it 20-22 and wasn’t able to leave the set behind me. A mistake that shows I’m still a youngster. This trip has been a good reminder that there is still a long way to go!  I’m looking forward to all the hard work that’s ahead of me, Antonsen wrote on his Facebook page.


Marin ready for second round
In other ties, Spanish Carolina Marin went through to the second round in comfortable fashion with two wins by a considerable margin against Mattana Hemrachatanun from Thailand.
