Odense, Oct 21:
India’s Kidambi Srikanth stands one step away from his third Super Series Premier title after he dished out a superlative display to outwit Hong Kong’s Wong Wing Ki Vincent in straight games to reach the men’s singles final of the USD 750,000 Denmark Open, here today.
The 25-year-old Indian, who clinched the Indonesia Open and Australian Open this year besides reaching the final of the Singapore Open, defeated Wong 21-18 21-17 at the Odense Sports Park here.
A 2-2 head-to-head record in career meetings — all of which had gone to the decider — meant nothing as Srikanth towered over Wong, showing better control and anticipation in the 39-minute semifinal duel.
“I feel great. I really wanted to do well. Our game is similar but I was more patient and though I made some errors initially I learnt quickly. Next is Lee whom I have not played and I think he will be a tricky player to beat,” Srikanth said. (PTI)
