Srikanth to meet Jayaram in Swiss Open semifinal

HYDERABAD: K Srikanth and Jayaram came up with contrasting victories to turn the Swiss Open semifinal into a virtual Indian affair. The clash between the Hyderabad and Mumbai shuttlers in Basel on Saturday promises to be a cracker of contest.

On Friday, the duo put on a terrific show as they booked their last four spots. While top seed Srikanth blazed past Takuma Ueda 21-11, 21-12, Jayaram fought back after losing the first game to beat Kazumasa Sakai 17-21, 23-21, 21-15 in a close contest. Incidentally, this is the first time that two Indian men will be up against each at the Swiss Open Grand Prix Gold.

After losing the first game, Jayaram was on the brink of losing the match at 19-20. However, the Mumbai shuttler kept his composure and saved two match points (at 19-20 and 20-21) before winning 23-21. In the decider, Jayaram broke free from 10-10 and never looked back.

"It will be an interesting contest tomorrow. Good that once again two Indians are facing each other in the semifinals," chief coach Pullela Gopichand said.
