Kidambi Srikanth, Young Indian Shuttlers Eye Turnaround In Form At Taipei Open
Battling an extended run of poor form, Kidambi Srikanth and a host of young Indian shuttlers, including Ayush Shetty and Anupama Upadhyaya, will be eager to deliver strong performances at the USD 240,000 Taipei Open, beginning in Taipei on Tuesday. A former world No. 1, Srikanth has been struggling with injuries and inconsistent form for a considerable period, which has seen him slip to No. 61 in the current BWF World Rankings. The 32-year-old, a silver-medallist at the 2021 World Championships, has featured in 14 tournaments last season, with a semifinal finish at the Swiss Open in March being the highlight.
