India number one Kidmabi Srikanth wraps up his third Super Series foremost title with a dominating straight-game victory over Korean veteran Lee Hyun II in a mauled final of the USD 750,000 Denmark Open on Sunday. Playing an opponent who is 12 years his senior to his young career, Srikanth asserted his dominance with a 21-10 21-5 win over 37-year-old Lee in a match that lasted just 25 minutes.

Currently World Number eighth ranking Srikanth didn't give any chances to the more experienced Lee, who looked a colorless shadow of the man, who had beaten World No. 2 Son Wan Ho in the semi-finals day before this final. The duo was tied 4-4 before Srikanth changed gears and used his trickery and powerful smashes to lead 9-5. The Korean hit two long shots and then sent one at the net to hand over a 20-8 points lead to Srikanth.

The Indian made two unforced errors to allow Lee get into doubles figures. But Lee again erred with the length of his return as Srikanth pocketed the first game. In the second game, Srikanth stepped on the gas and zoomed to an 11-1 lead even as Lee struggled with his strokes, hitting wide and long and often finding the net. Srikant mauled in the second round which ends up with scores of 21-5 point. The Korean lacked anticipation as Srikanth smashed his way to the title.
