Srikanth K. wins SCM BS u-19 title

Top seed Srikanth K. got the better of Sameer Verma in the finals of the Boys singles u-19 badminton event, at the Sushant Chipalkatti Memorial (SCM) India Junior International Badminton Championship -2011 held at Pune in Maharashtra.

Srikanth K. defeated Sameer Verma 21-16 18-21 21-17 in the final match, to win the Boys Singles under-19 title.

Earlier in the semi-finals, Srikanth K. had got the better of Gesstano Ganendra Adwitya  of Indonesia in a tough 3-set match, 21-10 14-21 21-19   in 43 minutes, while Sameer Verma had defeated Rohit Yadav C.  21-14 21-11 in just 24 minutes.

This win for Srikanth K. against Sameer in the finals, must have felt like sweet revenge, because he had very recently lost to Sameer in the semi-finals of the Shree Gangadham National Junior Ranking tournament that was held at Haridwar earlier this month. That match too had gone to 3 sets, and after defeating Srikanth, Sameer had gone on to win the finals also.
