Ex-world No. 1 Kidambi Srikanth exited in the semi-finals of the men’s singles competition at the Canada Open 2025 badminton event in Ontario on Saturday, marking the end of India’s journey at the BWF Super 300 tournament.

Kidambi Srikanth, ranked 49th in men’s singles badminton, took the first game but lost the advantage, ultimately falling 19-21, 21-14, 21-18 to Kenta Nishimoto of Japan, the world No. 12 and third seed, after one hour and 18 minutes.

Earlier this year, Srikanth also faced defeat in the Malaysia Masters final. Nishimoto came back in the second and third matches to advance to the final after a one-hour-and-18-minute contest.

Srikanth’s dream run ends in Semis

Srikanth, the silver medalist at the World Championships, had previously raced into the semifinals by overcoming World No. 6 and top-seeded Chou Tien Chen at the Markham Pan Am Centre. The ex-World No. 1 defeated Chou, the runner-up of the Indonesia Open Super 1000, in straight games to secure his second semifinal spot of 2025.

Srikanth had previously emerged victorious over fellow countryman Priyanshu Rajawat in a three-game battle in the opening round.

Title remains elusive for Kidambi

With the semi-final loss, Kidambi’s pursuit of his first title since the 2017 French Open continues. He ended the  as a runner-up after losing in the final against China’s Li Shifeng in Bukit Jalil.

Srikanth’s path to the final in that tournament also made him only the second man in history to reach the championship match of a BWF World Tour Super 500 tournament after beginning in the qualifying rounds.

Before that, Srikanth reached a final of a BWF World Tour event during the India Open in 2019, which is a Super 500 tournament similar to the Malaysia Masters. The Indian badminton player was defeated by Viktor Axelsen from Denmark, a three-time Olympic medallist, on that occasion.

Srikanth’s most recent international title victory came at the 2017 French Open, which was part of the BWF Superseries Era.

POWER CORRIDORS

Former Vice President Venkaiah Naidu commended Power Corridors as a commendable news magazine, affirming that it not only upholds Media Dharma but also fulfills its societal obligations. Power Corridors, as its name implies, delves into realpolitik—examining the essence of influential circles, unraveling the intricacies of political maneuvers, and exploring the pulse of the state’s affairs. However, it transcends mere power dynamics, encompassing a broader spectrum of issues beyond the confines of Delhi’s elite circles.

For PC, which is published by the Interactive Forum on Indian Economy, not only highlights the issues of the day but also throws up what ought to be the subjects that the country should be debating about. It reports about the plans, strategies, and agendas of politicians and others; it also sets the agenda for the nation.
