Basel: India's journey at Swiss Open ended with Kidambi Srikanth's defeat in a closely contested semifinal encounter against Lin Chun-Yi here on Sunday.
 
The match, which lasted over an hour, showcased Srikanth's early dominance as he secured a lead and won the first game 21-15.
 
However, Lin staged a remarkable comeback in the second game, winning convincingly with a scoreline of 21-9, thus leveling the match.
 
The decider witnessed a tight battle between both players, with neither willing to concede much ground on the scoreboard.
 
Despite Srikanth's efforts to regain momentum, Lin maintained a slight edge throughout. With the score tied at 16-16, Lin capitalized on the opportunity, claiming three consecutive points to surge ahead to 19-16.
 
Eventually, Lin secured victory with a score of 21-18 in the final game.
