Two days after being humbled by a certain resurgent Japanese, Kidambi Srikanth has pressed reset and is determined to give a better account of himself in seeking to defend his Indonesia Open crown – though his first hurdle is to get past the same opponent.
Speaking at today’s press conference for the BLIBLI Indonesia Open 2018, the Indian top gun was keen to shrug off the memories of last Saturday’s 21-13 21-13 defeat to the red-hot Kento Momota in the CELCOM AXIATA Malaysia Open 2018 semi-finals.
“Momota is very tough but I am looking forward to getting back on court. I want to play better than Saturday. It wasn’t close,” said Kidambi candidly.
