Kidambi Srikanth pushed world champion Alex Lanier to three games in a Denmark Open pre-quarterfinal, ultimately losing 11-21, 21-15, 21-15. The 33-year-old’s spinning, deceptive net play unsettled Lanier and helped him lead 11-9 in the decider. Lanier then used his speed, defense and attacks from the back court to turn the match around.
