He began the tournament by causing an upset as he trumped the top seed in the first round. He continued the winning run to the finals and maintained the momentum.
Ended the tournament too with a bang for Indian badminton fans but causing upset for all Croatian fans as he defeated second seed Zvonimir Durkinjak in a three-game battle 18-21, 21-12, 21-17.
The training under legendary shuttler Peter Gade definitely showing results and making him a better player. Olympic Gold Quest, a non-profitable organisation helping athletes with their sport. They are the ones who sent the young lad for training and is looking after the future star.
