Former World No. 1 Kidambi Srikanth is aiming to make a strong comeback at the Taipei Open 2025, starting Tuesday, as he looks to overcome a prolonged phase of injuries and inconsistent form. Currently ranked 61st in the BWF World Rankings, Srikanth has struggled to regain his top form, with his best result this year being a quarter-final finish at the Thailand Masters. As he leads India’s campaign at the tournament, he hopes to turn the tide and regain his competitive edge on the international circuit.
Srikanth opens his campaign against S Sankar Muthusamy Subramanian, the 2022 World Junior silver medallist. Sankar stunned World No. 2 Anders Antonsen at the Swiss Open earlier this year, and will look to carry that momentum into this clash of experience vs youth.
The 2025 Taipei Open, a BWF Super 300 event, is set to take place from May 6 to May 11 at the Taipei Arena in Taipei, Taiwan.
The tournament features a total prize pool of USD 240,000 and offers valuable ranking points for players on the BWF World Tour.
