Kidambi Srikanth's dream season turned even better with his fifth entry into the Super Series final as he defeated compatriot HS Prannoy 14-21, 21-18, 21-19 in the semi-final of French Open on Saturday in 62 minutes. Srikanth, who clinched titles at Indonesia, Australia and Denmark have now become the first Indian to reach five summit clashes in a season.
Having already completed a hat-trick of Super Series titles, Srikanth will be aiming to win his fourth title of the season. He will meet Kenta Nishimoto of Japan, who defeated Anders Antonsen 21-17, 21-15 in the other semi-final.
Srikanth once again showed his stamina and ability to take the match deep even after Prannoy started on a rousing note with 21-14 victory in the first game.
It was a battle on an even keel during the next two games as Srikanth's big match temperament came to the fore during big points. Srikanth now has taken a 3-1 lead in the head-to-head statistics against Prannoy.
The World No. 4 Srikanth credited this to a change in mindset brought about by new Indonesian coach Mulyo Handoyo.
