kidambi Srikanth wants to win more Grand Prix in 2014

Update: 2014-01-24 00:37 GMT
Kidambi Srikanth has developed a reputation for being called the giant killer on the badminton circuit after defeating several top players in the past one year. The 20-year-old lived up to that epithet when he beat much higher ranked shuttlers on his way to the Thailand Open Grand Prix Gold title in June last year, including then World No.4 and local top seed Boonsak Ponsana in the final. The recently crowned national champion wants to continue that tradition by winning more tournaments in 2014. “I want to win more Grands Prix and Grand Prix Golds this year. The start to 2014 has also been good. I have played against a few top ranked players and beaten them. I want to continue that here as well as I want to do well on my home soil,” Srikanth, who entered the men’s singles quarter-finals of the India Grand Prix Gold here. The Hyderabadi said his win last week at the Malaysia Open Super Series Premier over top South Korean Wan Ho Son gave him a lot of satisfaction and confidence.
