Kidambi Srikanth gets revenge, stuns former world champion as Sindhu also progresses at Thailand Open

## Srikanth's Redemption

Kidambi Srikanth, ranked 29th globally, achieved a significant victory at the Thailand Open Super 500 in Bangkok. He defeated former world champion Loh Kean Yew in straight sets, 21-14, 21-15, advancing to the round of 16. This win was particularly sweet for Srikanth, as it avenged his loss to Loh in the 2021 World Championships final. Srikanth's sharp performance prevented Loh, ranked 13th, from finding his rhythm. The 33-year-old Indian will next face Su Li Yang from Chinese Taipei.

## Sindhu's Dominant Performance

P.V. Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medalist, also advanced to the pre-quarterfinals with a commanding win over Tung Ciou Tong of Chinese Taipei. Sindhu, seeded sixth, took just 33 minutes to secure her victory, winning 21-9, 21-12. She will now compete against Denmark's Amalie Schulz, marking their first encounter on the international stage. Sindhu is eager to claim her first BWF title since 2024.
