Ace Indian shuttler Kidambi Srikanth showed great determination to outwit NG Ka Long Angus in a hard fought match and cruise into the semifinal of the Hylo Open Super 500 badminton here on Friday.
The sixth seed Srikanth subdued the higher ranked Hong Kong shuttler 21-11, 12-21, 21-19 in a men’s singles quarterfinal that lasted one hour four minutes.
Srikanth, ranked 15, hardly broke a sweat in the first game, taking a 1-0 lead.

With the win Srikanth levelled the head to head record against Angus. Both shuttlers now have three wins each against each other.
