Kidambi Srikanth loses in semi, knocked out

Published by Webster

Indian shuttler Kidambi Srikanth lost a hard-fought battle against Lin Chun Yi of Chinese Taipei in the semi-final of the Swiss Open Super 300 tournament on Saturday. Srikanth lost 21-15, 9-21, 18-21 against Lin in a 65 minute thriller. Despite Srikanth winning the first game, he failed to keep his composure in the final game to lose the match. Srikanth started the match well and despite some resistance from Lin Chun, he won the first game 21-15. Lin came back strongly in the second game and won the game 21-9 to force the decider. The decider was a rollercoaster as both shuttlers tried to trump each other with Lin taking the lead earlier before Srikanth came back to lead 16-14. However, Lin found the extra gear in the last few minutes and won the semi-final. With Srikanth’s loss, the Indian challenge ended at the Swiss Open. He had a good run in the tournament with straight-game wins over Lee Zii Jia and Wang Tzu Wei. Earlier yesterday, Priyanshu Rajawat, Kiran George and Treesa Jolly/Gayatri Gopichand …

French Open Semi Finals 2024 Live Score: Lakshya Sen trails 10-15 in 2nd game after winning 1st | Badminton News

PV Sindhu needed to show there was plenty left to unleash in her arsenal, French Open was a sneak peek Sindhu needed more than positive takeaways from the Yufei match; she needed the world to know there was plenty left to unleash in her arsenal. Paris was a sneak peek. (X/BAI Media) If beating An Se Young in Round 2 of the All England next week and marching further to take a proper shot at the one title she doesn’t have was the manifesting, then PV Sindhu was on track at the French Open on Friday. A quarter was indeed given. Sindhu lost 24-22, 17-21, 18-21 to Chinese Chen Yufei. But there was just about sufficient menace in her game against the Olympic champion to show that she can turn merciless at a flick of a switch next week at Birmingham. It’s rarely about fitness or form for Sindhu in the big matches. She doesn’t step onto the court unless she’s physically ready, and since her early years, past matches, petty grudges and prolonged phases …

What is Mumbai skipper Ajinkya Rahane’s reaction to Shreyas Iyer’s participation in Ranji Trophy semi vs Tamil Nadu? | Cricket News

Published by Webster

Mumbai Ranji skipper Ajinkya Rahane threw his weight behind Shreyas Iyer after the latter’s central contract was terminated by the BCCI on Wednesday. This came after Iyer had not participated in Mumbai’s quarterfinal match against Baroda complaining of back pain. “He’s an experienced player. His contribution has been amazing whenever he turned up for Mumbai. We are thrilled to have him in our team for the semifinal,” Rahane said before his team takes on Tamil Nadu in the Ranji semifinals. “I don’t think he needs any encouragement or advice. He has always contributed with the bat for Mumbai, and him being around other players in the dressing room will also help the team’s cause,” the Mumbai skipper added. On Wednesday, in an unprecedented move, which sent a strong message to those skipping domestic cricket, the BCCI had dropped Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan from the annual contract list. The decision comes after the two players refused to turn up for their domestic sides despite BCCI secretary Jay Shah sending a strongly-worded letter to all the …

Alex Berenguer Penalty Earns Athletic Bilbao Copa Semi First Leg Win At Atletico Madrid

Published by Webster

Alex Berenguer earned Athletic Bilbao an impressive 1-0 win at Atletico Madrid in a tense Copa del Rey semi-final first leg clash on Wednesday. The winger rolled home a 25th minute penalty to secure the victory but Atletico were frustrated after a late spot kick in their favour was annulled. Yeray Alvarez felled Alvaro Morata in the area in stoppage time but a VAR review showed the forward was offside in the build up. Athletic inflicted Atletico’s first home defeat of the season across all competitions. “They pressed us well in the second half especially, but in the end we got a very good result,” Berenguer told Movistar. “We did what we’ve been doing all the year, the team sacrificed a lot and this is the way we have to continue.” Sitting fourth in La Liga and 10 points adrift of leaders Real Madrid, cup success remains Atletico’s best avenue to silverware this season. Diego Simeone’s side defeated current holders Real Madrid in the last 16 and scraped past Sevilla to reach the …

Umar Sadiq Blows Chances To Earn Real Sociedad Cup Semi Lead At Mallorca

Published by Webster

Real Sociedad striker Umar Sadiq spurned a string of opportunities to earn his team a first leg-advantage in a 0-0 Copa del Rey semi-final draw at Real Mallorca. Imanol Alguacil’s side, who won the 2019-20 Copa del Rey, with the final played in 2021 because of the Covid-19 pandemic, will feel they should have taken a win back to the Basque Country. Sadiq, said La Real coach Alguacil, “knows it’s a semi-final. He knows that this goal would have given us an advantage for the second leg, but here, when we slip up, we slip up together, when we win, we win together.”  The visitors had the better chances at Mallorca’s Son Moix stadium, many wasted by Nigerian forward Sadiq, although the hosts created a couple of excellent openings themselves. “We deserved more,” Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi told Movistar. Real Sociedad have struggled for consistency in La Liga, sitting sixth, but have impressed in cup competitions — they will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last 16. La Real winger Ander …

Goalkeeper Qatar’s Hero, Iran Stun Japan To Set Up Asian Cup Semi

Published by Webster

Goalkeeper Meshaal Barsham was Qatar’s hero as the hosts and holders beat Uzbekistan 3-2 on penalties on Saturday to propel them into an Asian Cup semi-final with Japan’s conquerors Iran. Barsham saved three times in the penalty shootout after the quarter-final with Uzbekistan ended 1-1 following 120 minutes of stalemate. Pedro Miguel slotted in the winning penalty for Qatar in front of almost 60,000 fans at the tent-like Al-Bayt Stadium north of Doha. The triumphant Qatar players tossed Barsham in the air at the end. “With penalties there is some anticipation and there is some luck,” said Barsham, who was also fortunate that the three he saved were weak efforts from Uzbekistan. Qatar had won their four previous games at the tournament but they were given a stiffer test by Uzbekistan, who some had tipped as dark horses to lift the trophy. Qatar opened the scoring midway through the first half when captain Hassan Al-Haydos forced an own goal from Utkir Yusupov, the goalkeeper flapping the ball into his own net. Uzbekistan levelled …
