George, ranked 44th in the world, battled hard but ultimately lost in straight games, 12-21, 20-22, in a 53-minute long encounter on Saturday.<p>In the first game, George was tied at 4-4 before trailing 11-7 in the break. However, Vitidsarn didn't give much room to the Indian shuttler to bounce back and claimed the game 21-12. The Thai shuttler\u2019s agility and tactical precision gave him the upper hand, keeping George on the defensive throughout the game. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>George started on high in the second game and took an early 4-0 lead before the Thai player fired his all cylinders and grabbed 13 consecutive points to turn the tide in his favour. The 24-year-old didn't lose hope and launched a fightback as he levelled scores at 20-20 but failed to give the final blow as Vitidsarn scored consecutive points to seal the game 22-20 and cruise to the summit clash.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, George\u2019s journey through the tournament had been marked by stellar performances, particularly his quarter-final victory over Japan's fifth-seeded Takuma Obayashi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the quarterfinal match on Friday, the Indian outclassed his opponent in straight games 21-14, 21-16 in just 39 minutes. In his fourth career meet against Obyashi, George retained his unbeaten record with another victory over the Japanese.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, George\u2019s journey through the tournament had been marked by stellar performances, particularly his quarter-final victory over Japan's fifth-seeded Takuma Obayashi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
