Kidambi Srikanth fails to qualify for Thailand Open main draw

Kidambi Srikanth fails to qualify for Thailand Open main draw

Bangkok, May 13 (UNI) Former world number one and world championship silver medallist, Kidambi Srikanth, crashed out of the Thailand Open 2025 badminton tournament after failing to make it past the qualification stage here on Tuesday.
Srikanth, currently ranked 71st in the men’s singles world rankings, began his qualifying campaign with a 21-15, 21-17 win over fellow Indian Sankar Subramanian. However, the 31-year-old fell short in the second round, going down 21-16, 21-19 to compatriot Tharun Mannepalli.
The defeat ended Srikanth’s hopes of entering the main draw, continuing a lean patch for the shuttler who has reached only one quarterfinal from eight appearances this season. In 2024, Srikanth had managed just a solitary semifinal from 14 tournaments.
