Indian badminton player Kidambi Srikanth has won the Men's Singles title of Australia Open Super Series 2017 at Sydney today. In the finals he defeated the Chinese Olympic champion Chen Long to win this title.

This is world number 11 Srikanth's second successive Superseries title in a span of eight days. Earlier he has won the Indonesian Open Super Series Premier last Sunday.

Srikanth had reached the final of the Singapore Open in April and Indonesia Open before this tournament and has thus become only the fifth player in the world and the first Indian male shuttler to contest three consecutive Super Series finals.
