India Open 2023: Srikanth bows out after losing to Axelsen (Sportstar)

Kidambi Srikanth's poor run continued as he went down in straight games to Viktor Axelsen in his opening men's singles match at the India Open Super 750 ...

Soon, exasperation led Srikanth to a series of errors. But Axelsen clawed back to win six out of the next seven points for a 11-8 lead at the mid-game break. In the last few seasons, lack of peak fitness apart, Srikanth’s inconsistency has played a major part in leading him out of the world’s top-10 list.

Axelsen lauds 'tricky opponent' Srikanth after first round win at India ... (Hindustan Times)

The Danish World No.1 kept his undefeated run intact in 2023, beating Kidambi Srikanth 21-14, 21-19 to progress to second round at India Open.

Lot of positives to take from that game, though, but I still need to work a lot,” said Srikanth in the mixed zone following the game. “I think it’s really important to cut down the errors. The two-time India Open winner could potentially set up a quarterfinal against defending champion Lakshya Sen, who meets another Danish shuttler, Rasmus Genke in the second round. Even in the first game, when it was 14-16 or something, I just sent a few smashes out. Now, I have more hours for tomorrow, so I’m trying to recover in the best way possible,” said the World No.1 player. I didn’t feel good in the second game. “Can’t believe I managed to win the match. I’m just trying to settle in and I’m really happy I have won in straight games here. When Hindustan Times asked if the slowness of shuttle and the overall conditions at the court were hard to adapt, Axelsen stated that it does get difficult. He went to mid-game break with a healthy seven-point advantage, and didn't let the intensity slip after resumption to lead 14-6. Viktor soon took charge, however, producing an exhibition in playing out some stunning drop shots and racing to an 11-8 lead at the mid-game break. The crowds had started to fill the seats in advance for the blockbuster tie on Day 2 of the tournament, with other top shuttlers Lee Zii Jia and Anthony Ginting also finding many admirers in their respective matches just before Srikanth was scheduled to play Axelsen.

But now I have some more hours tomorrow, so I am trying to recover in the best way possible. Srikanth dominated much of the second game, often dictating the tempo and building up to finish the point. In the second game, as Srikanth ebbed, Axelsen racked up crucial points to bridge the gap. Even in the first game, when it was 14-16 or something, I had a few tap-outs and a few smash-outs. Again, in the second game, at 19-18, I hit a tap out when it touched the net and went out. The last time Srikanth beat the current world No 1 was in the Denmark Open quarters in 2017.

He also dug deep into his defence at 14-8 to win a long rally and bagged seven straight points to bounce back in the game. He will now face China's Shi Yu Qi in the second round of the tournament, part of the BWF World Tour Super 750 event. So I am trying to adapt in the best way possible," Axelsen said after the match.

India Open: Kidambi Srikanth explodes, then implodes (The Indian Express)

It's the curse of India's finest net practitioner, glorious at one moment and horrid in the next.

“I played really well till a point in the second set and gave him too many easy points after that,” he repeated. The Malaysia Open was a big big win for me and I am just trying to do the best I can every single day and I was really happy to win my first round today,” Axelsen added. “I think it’s really important at the moment to cut down the errors. “I am only happy to see so many badminton fans in the stands, it was a great atmosphere. He admitted the errors – a problem for many years – ate into his chances to win and he hadn’t applied himself in the end. Even in the first game, I had few tap-outs and smash-outs. I was just very happy to pull out the win today,” he added. And one leads to the next and then many more. But the accuracy at the net was missing even then at 12-16, as he relied on acceleration of attack. And then proceeds to fritter it all away in a pool of errors. No one— least of all him– knows how he works up a frenzy of some smoothly woven points to go 14-5 up in the second set. However, I am really happy that I managed to win in straight games.
