STAFF WRITER 19:27 HRS IST

New Delhi, Oct 28 (PTI) Anand Pawar lost to sixth seed Marc Zwiebler of Germany after a tough fight in the second round as Indians disappointed in the men's singles event of the Denmark Open Super Series at Odense today.

Pawar, who beat local lad Hans-Kristian Vittinghus in a thrilling first round match, came back from a game down but ran out of steam against his higher-ranked opponent to lose 10-21 21-14 15-21 in a 59-minute contest.

World number 52 Pawar could not match his opponent, ranked 37 places above him, in the first game which the German took in quick time.

The Indian, however, fought back strongly with some fine smash winners and points from long rallies to take the second game and the match to the decider.
