Srikanth defeated Korea's Lee Hyun Il 21-10, 21-5 in the Denmark Open final.
India's Kidambi Srikanth won his third Superseries Premier title on Sunday as he beat Lee Hyun-Il of Korea in just 25 minutes in the final of Denmark Open Super Series.
The Indian eased past through his opponent, who was not able to put up any fight right from the very beginning of the game. Srikanth defeated Korea's Lee Hyun-Il 21-10, 21-5 .
After this win, Srikanth now sits on the top of the table of Destination Dubai Rankings ahead of Son Wan Ho. The 25-year-old won Indonesia Open and Australian Open and also ended runner-up in the Singapore Open this year.
Playing an opponent 12 years his senior, Srikanth asserted his dominance with a 21-10 21-5 win over 37-year-old Lee in a match that lasted just 25 minutes here.
World No 8 Srikanth didn't give any chances to the more experienced Lee, who looked a pale shadow of the man, who had beaten World No. 2 Son Wan Ho in the semi-finals.
The duo were tied 4-4, before Srikanth changed gears and used his deception and powerful smashes to lead 9-5. A return going to the net gave a point to Lee but Srikanth produced a brilliant cross court net dribble to bamboozle his opponent and moved into the break with a healthy 11-6 lead when the Korean went wide.
Lee had no answers to Srikanth's razor-sharp smashes and cross court returns as the Indian led 14-8. Lee also made judgement errors at the baseline and also miscued his strokes as Srikanth extended his advantage to 17-8 with another smash.
The Korean hit two long shots and then sent one at the net to hand over a 20-8 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 a 11-1 lead even as Lee struggled with his strokes, hitting wide and long and often finding the net.
Post mid-game break, Lee produced a steep cross court return, much to the cheer of the sizable crowd who had turned out to watch the finals. The Korean lacked anticipation as Srikanth smashed his way to the title.
Earlier, 2013 World Champion Ratchanok Inthanon produced another gritty display to stave off the challenge from World No. 5 and defending champion Akane Yamaguchi of Japan 14-21 21-15 21-19 to win her first title of the season.
