Odense (Denmark), October 19

Kidambi Srikanth defeated the legendary Lin Dan for the second time in his career to set up an all-Indian quarterfinal against Sameer Verma at the Denmark Open. World No. 6 Srikanth bounced back to beat the world No. 14 from China 18-21 21-17 21-16 in the second-round clash on Thursday night.

Dan, a two-time Olympic gold medallist and five-time world champion, is certainly not the player he used to be but is still a force to reckon with. Srikanth had famously scored his maiden win over Dan to win the 2014 China Open. With this win, Srikanth has a 2-3 head-to-head record against the Chinese legend. — PTI
