    Hopefully Srikanth will learn from these mistakes and can make improvements. The slow starts are a cause of botheration and he needs to overcome that first. Let us hope Srikanth is able to build some rhythm and confidence before the Commonwealth Games.

    Errors just reared their ugly head at the wrong time and Yuxiang just raised his level sensing his opponent's indecisive play.

    That was certainly heartbreaking for Srikanth and Indian badminton fans. Srikanth will rue those mistakes..he had two chances to progress into the quarter-finals of the All England Open for the first time in his career and he unfortunately squandered them both.
    ...
    And Huang makes Srikanth pay for his erratic play at the most crucial juncture.

    Srikanth sends the shuttle wide and it is match to Yuxiang!
