Match summary

Alex Lanier dominated the second and third games to overcome an opening-game loss, winning the match 2-1 against Kidambi Srikanth with identical 21-15 scorelines in games two and three. The decisive shift came in game two when Lanier mounted a decisive 6-point run from 15-all to seize control, then accelerated further in game three with an 8-point burst from 13-15 down to close out the match. Srikanth's early success with 13 smash winners proved insufficient as Lanier's aggressive finishing combined with Srikanth's mounting net errors—12 compared to Lanier's 5 lifting mistakes—tilted momentum decisively in the final two games.
