World No.3 Kidambi Srikanth says he just wants to get his momentum back in a tough draw at the India Open after his start to the new season was delayed owing to a minor injury. Despite the top seed and world number one Viktor Axelsen pulling out at the last minute, second seed Srikanth feels it is still a difficult draw for him. The world number three has done well in fast court conditions but says he needs to prepare more for the slow surfaces. "I did well in slow conditions too, my first Super Series win was in China which had slow conditions. I want to train to those conditions and play more tournaments in slow courts," Srikanth said.
