[Final] (5) Chetan Anand (IND,49) bt Henri Hurskainen (SWE,107) 23-21 19-21 21-15

Chetan showed his form in India Grand Prix wasn't fluke ... In his title win he had good win against Indonesian WR #40 ... This title win gave him 4000 pts and will moved him around #41 in WR.

Other hand Neha Pandit, who entered as unranked player had a dream run ... Before final she played 6 matches including qualifying, so she must be tired in the final ... Creditable performance by Neha, who received 3400 pts as a finalist and that means she will first time enter into WR inside top-220.
