The finals day of the BWF World Tour Super 500 Tournament, the Malaysia Masters, began at Axiata Arena in Bukit Jalil, Malaysia, on Sunday.

The former world no.1 Kidambi was eyeing his first-ever title on the BWF World Tour, which could have been the first title for any Indian shuttler in 2025.
As it happened:
The former world no.1, Kidambi Srikanth, had a disappointing end to his dream run at the Malaysia Masters Super 500, losing the final in straight games against world no.4 Li Shi Feng.
Feng displayed an outstanding aggressive play and just outclassed Kidambi in this one-sided affair. Kidambi tried to go over-aggressive and deny Feng a chance to attack, but eventually ended up in making a lots of unforced errors.
