@srikidambi continues to disappoint in 2018....

@srikidambi Never mind the tough loss against Huang... You were almost there... The anxiousness to finish the match when leading 20-17 in the third game cost you the match.. Two net shots were hastily taken.. One has to be extra patient during match points. All the best.

Now people expects a lot from srikanth !!!! That too over loaded for him, that's create unnecessary pressure to him.May be, Mental toughness is required for Srikanth .

dnt knw whats gng wrng wid him.srikanth is more calm nd composed at match p.ts.he concentrates more on flow nd process rather than win or lose(last year).i am missing dat sri.d way he plays in saint https://t.co/RmpdmsafHh he is more tensed nd hesitant at crucial stages

Kidambi Srikanth looked far from convincing in this tournament and is knocked out in 3 sets by Huang Yuxiang. Two back to back 3 sets loses for Indian players makes it 2 wins and 2 loses at Day 2, with mixed doubles of Pranav Jerry /Sikki Reddy remaining. #AllEnglandSuper1000

satwik/chirag had 1 match point but Srikanth Kidambi had 2....

Absolutely wasn't convinced by Srikanth's survival skills yesterday after that terrible slow start. And today he goes out against the #42. Another slow start and yet more errors at match points did him in. Sad 2 see him lose like this, but lot of work definitely needed now.

Huge upset in fact. Who would have thought Srikanth won't even make it to last eight? He had a close brush even in the last game. But this time he bows out. Sad for Indian fans. Now a lot of expectations from Pusarla Sindhu.

Missing out on 2 match points @srikidambi loses out. Now @PRANNOYHSPRI and @Pvsindhu1 the two Indians in QF. @srikidambi losing is an upset.

I was expecting that @srikidambi would win @YonexAllEngland and join the most coveted list. But the result is very upsetting and disappointing. His game started looking like srikanth of 2017 will never return. What say @KatochBikash ?
