The world No.3, who last week lost in the YONEX All England Open 2022 last 16 to eventual runner-up Lakshya Sen, went out in the quarterfinals in Basel at the hands of seventh-seeded Kidambi Srikanth following a 79-minute battle.
The 19-21 21-19 20-22 loss is the Dane’s first to the former world No.1 since the World Championships in 2017.
Kidambi, who lifted the Swiss title in 2015, meets Jonatan Christie next after the Indonesian toiled to a 21-18 16-21 24-22 win over Frenchman Toma Junior Popov.
