Kidambi Srikanth hardly dropped a sweat as he sauntered into the men’s singles second round of the Syed Modi International Badminton Championships 2019 in Lucknow on Wednesday.
Srikanth sailed past Russian Vladimir Malkov 21-12, 21-11 to enter the second round where he’ll face compatriot Parupalli Kashyap.
However, Kashyap got walkover from Frenchman Lucas Corvee in his opening round contest.
The 18-year-old Lakshya Sen, who won the Scottish Open last week, also got a walkover after another French shuttler Thomas Rouxel who also withdrew from the competition.
