For the first time in the history of badminton, two Indians clashed in a Super Series final and Praneeth made the most of it in his maiden Super Series final appearance. Before the final between Praneeth and Srikanth, only three nations -- China, Indonesia and Denmark -- had two of their shutters playing in finals of a Super Series event.
"It's always difficult to play someone with whom you play every day. I am very happy to win today. The way I played in the tournament, I'm very happy. The support here for the Indians has also been very nice," an overwhelmed Praneeth said after the 54-minute clash. Praneeth scored 17-21, 21-17, 21-12 in a 54-minute contest.
