The 25-year-old Indian defeated Hong Kong’s Wong Wing Ki Vincent 21—18 21—17 at the Odense Sports Park.
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 late on Saturday.
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.
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 told PTI.
Best goal: Harmanpreet Singh (India)
Most Promising Player: Assad Qureshi (Bangladesh)
Best Goalkeeper: Akash Chikte (India)
Top Scorer: Faizal Saari (Malaysia) & Harmanpreet Singh (India). 7 goals
Best Player of the Tournament: Faizal Saari (Malaysia)

I feel lot positive for India to face Malaysia rather than Korea who had been tough to break for any team
