Indian shuttler Kidambi Srikanth clinched the silver medal in the men's singles event at the US Open badminton tournament after finishing runner-up in the final on Monday. Srikanth suffered a 15-21, 21-16, 9-21 defeat against Chinese Taipei's Su Li-yang in a closely contested three-game match.
The result extends Srikanth's wait for a BWF title, with his last international crown coming at the French Open in 2017 during the BWF Superseries era. Despite the loss, the silver medal marks a commendable performance for the Indian shuttler as he continues his return to form on the international circuit.
