Srikanth, who clinched titles at Indonesia, Australia and Denmark, saw off compatriot H S Prannoy 14-21 21-19 21-18 in the French Open Super Series semifinals to become the first Indian to reach five summit clashes in a season. Srikanth will face Japan’s Kenta Nishimoto in the final for his fourth title of the year.
Olympic silver medallist P V SIndhu, meanwhile, suffered a 14-21 9-21 loss to Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi. “Playing semifinals is great but I am a bit upset though as I couldn’t make it to the finals. I have to learn from my mistakes and comeback,” she said.
