Indian shuttler B Sai Praneeth dished out a dominating performance to outclass South Korea’s Lee Dong-keun in straight games and reach his maiden Super Series Badminton final at the Singapore Open today. Praneeth defeated three-time Korea Masters Grand Prix Gold winner Lee 21 -6, 21-8 in a lop-sided semifinal match.
In another semifinal today, Kidambi Srikanth will clash with Indonesia’s Anthony Ginting. Srikanth and Praneeth are the only Indians left in the tournament.
