Al Ain Masters: India's former World No.1 Kidambi Srikanth was stunned by Malaysia youngster Aidil Sholeh in the semifinals in the Al Ain Masters 2025, the BWF Super 100 tournament, which will see rising stars Tasnim Mir and Shriyanshi Valishetty facing off in an All-Indian women's singles final on Sunday.

Things started on a poor note for Indian on Saturday as Sholeh recorded the biggest win of his career, stunning Srikanth in the men’s singles semifinals. For Sholeh, now competing as an independent player, this will be his second career Super 100 final after a silver medal at the Indonesia Masters last year.

“The second game was tough as my opponent (Kidambi) changed his game plan. There was some drift as well, but I’m happy I managed to stay composed,” said Sholeh after the victory.
