World Championships silver medalist Kidambi Srikanth has a tough job on his hands in the first round of the 2022 Korea Open. The world No. 12 faces 35th-ranked Daren Liew, a player he has lost to in each of their three meetings in the past.

But four years have passed since their last showdown. And Srikanth will hope that his recent resurgence will help him end his losing streak to the Malaysian this time around.

The 29-year-old became the first Indian ever to reach the men's singles final at the BWF World Championships last year. This year, the former world No. 1 made just a solitary quarter-final in his first three tournaments.

But it was at his most recent event at the Swiss Open where the Guntur-born shuttler started showing glimpses of his champion self once again. He held his nerves for a narrow 21-19, 19-21, 22-20 win over World No. 3 Anders Antonsen in the quarter-finals.

Srikanth then made a blazing start against eventual champion Jonatan Christie in the semi-finals before going down 21-18, 7-21, 21-13.

His recent exploits should give him enough confidence to finally turn the tables on Liew, who has won just one match this season.
