India's shuttler Kidambi Srikanth will face an enormous task of beating two-time Olympic gold medallist and five-time world champion lin Dan of China in the quarter-finals of the men's singles event at the Rio Olympics here on Wednesday.
World No 11 Srikanth stunned World No 5 Jorgensen 21-19, 21-19 in 42 minutes at the pre-quarters stage. And the stakes will be high as Srikanth will aim to prove that he has really come of age.
World No.3 Dan is considered as the most successful shuttler in history.
The 32-year-old Chinese has completed the "Super Grand Slam", having won all nine major titles in the badminton world becoming the only player to achieve this feat.
