Badminton Worlds: Historic First as India Assure Themselves of At Least Two Medals

News 18  

In a historic first, India were assured of at least two medals and one finalist in the men’s singles competition of the BWF World Badminton Championships after the seasoned Kidambi Srikanth and young Lakshya Sen entered their maiden semifinals of the marquee event here on Friday. The world number 14 Srikanth was ahead 11-5 at the first game’s change of ends and from 14-8, he took seven straight points to pocket it in a jiffy. In the women’s singles, Sindhu suffered a straight-game defeat to world number one Tai Tzu to bow out of the championships. Sindhu found it difficult to match Tai Tzu’s speed, court coverage and drop shots as has been the case many times earlier though the Indian produced some fine cross-court smashes.
