Prime Minister Narendra Modi tonight congratulated badminton player Kidambi Srikanth for winnin the Denmark Open, saying it had made every Indian proud.
"Congratulations @srikidambi! Your remarkable victory at the #DenmarkSSP makes every Indian proud and happy," he tweeted.
Srikanth clinched his third Super Series Premier title with a dominating straight-game victory over Korean veteran Lee Hyun II in a lop-sided final of the USD 750,000 Denmark Open in Odense.
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.
