Kidambi Srikanth

Star shuttler Kidambi Srikanth was disappointed after being called for a series of what he termed "ridiculous" service faults during his pre-quarterfinal match against China's Huang Yuxiang at the All England Championship. World no 3 Srikanth lost 11-21 21-15 20-22 to the unseeded Chinese at the Arena Birmingham here in a 52-minute battle last night to crash out of the tournament. "There were too many service faults in the opening game. I didn't expect that to happen. Yesterday I didn't get even one, today it was totally changed. That should not happen in a tournament. There should be a specific rule. The umpire couldn't find faults yesterday but today the umpire sitting there found too many faults. It is ridiculous," an upset Srikanth said.
