A Hard-Fought Battle
Srikanth only needed to win a single game to secure his spot in the semi-finals, putting Jorgensen in a must-win situation. Srikanth started strong, taking the first game with a fiery pace. However, Jorgensen didn’t back down. After a challenging period in the third game, he rallied and emerged victorious. Jorgensen’s performance ensured he topped the group on points difference, with Srikanth finishing second and Japan’s Kento Momota in third place.
Jorgensen’s Thoughts
Reflecting on the match, Jorgensen stated, “He is a bit like Momota, rallying around and with killer shots. Actually, I had the same game plan as I did (against Momota) but I didn’t pull it off yesterday. He just needed one game, and I just needed to push hard in two others. It’s tough to know you’re through and then to see this crazy Danish guy fighting all he can.”

Saina Nehwal faced a tough challenge against Bae in Women’s Singles. Bae’s mix of power, pace, and well-placed soft shots kept Nehwal on her toes. However, Nehwal’s determination and perseverance saw her through. She emerged victorious with a score of 15-21, 21-7, 21-17.
Reflecting on the match, Nehwal commented, “I should’ve fought harder in the first game. Bae is the kind of player who will pick up everything… you need to be faster than her to pick up her shots. Under such situations, you’re under a lot of pressure. As expected, it was a tough fight. The third was a challenge for both of us. Although I was in the semis after winning the second game, I wanted to win the match. From the last three days, I have been playing tough matches. We know each other’s game, and every match is a challenge. My aim was to win the match even though I knew I had made the semi-finals after winning the second game. When I’m on court, I want to win each match and not give my opponent the confidence that she can beat me the next time.”
