Kidambi Srikanth Pulls Out, Lakshya Sen Top Indian Contender At German Open
Former world No. 1 Kidambi Srikanth has pulled out of the German Open Super 300 badminton tournament which starts with the qualifiers on Tuesday. While Srikanth will be missing in action, finalist of the last edition, Lakshya Sen will hope to go the distance this time as he spearheads the Indian challenge. Sen, and newly-crowned national champion Mithun Manjunath, will be the top Indian players. Sen, the reigning Commonwealth Games gold medallist, had defeated world No. 1 Viktor Axelsen in the semifinals, only to lose the final in the last edition.
