India rising in Denmark Open as Lin Dan, Axelsen crash out


ODENSE: India continue to show that they are serious contenders for the men's singles title at the Danisa Denmark Open when K. Srikanth and Sameer Verma marched into the quarter-finals – in a day when local hero Viktor Axelsen and Lin Dan of China crashed out.

Defending champion Srikanth showed Odense was indeed a happy hunting ground when he came from behind to beat two-time Olympic champion Lin Dan 18-21, 21-17, 21-16 in the men's singles second round at the Odense Sports Centre on Thursday.
