Denmark SSP: Srikanth clinches his 3rd SS title of the year in Denmark
KIDAMBI SRIKANTH just took 24 minutes to get his hands on the third Super Series title of the year at the Denmark Super Series Premier.
Dominating and powerful are the best adjectives to describe the 8th seed Indian's performance. Defeated Lee Hyun Il in straight games 21-10, 21-5.

He didn't give any room for the Korean to get back in the match. A one sided affair throughout saw Srikanth make history once again. The Guntur born became only the third Indian shuttler and second men's singles shuttler to clinch Denmark SSP after legendary badminton player Prakash Padukone did the same back in 1979.
