Kidambi Srikanth stunned Olympic champion Chen Long to win the Australian Open Super Series title. This was the Indian's second consecutive Super Series title. "Winning two Super Series titles is very special and it is like a dream run for me," Srikanth said after the win. "Going into the final against Chen Long, I wasn't under much pressure and the plan was not to give him easy points... Coach Mulyo Handoyo's training has been helpful for the players as the fitness level has increased." Srikanth will next be playing the World Championships in August.
