India’s Mithun Manjunath made it to his maiden Super 100 final with a straight-game win over Indonesia’s Christian Adinata at the Orleans Masters badminton tournament here.

The 23-year-old, a product of the Prakash Padukone Badminton academy, Manjunath prevailed 21-18, 21-14 over Adinata in a 47-minute match at the Palais des Sports here late on Saturday.

The world No. 79, who had reached the semi-finals of the Syed Modi International Super 300 event, will next face fourth-seeded Toma Junior Popov, who is ranked world No. 32, in the summit clash.

It was a tight battle with Manjunath and Adinata moving neck and neck initially before the Indian managed to go three-points up at the interval. However, the Indonesian came back to level scores at 16-16. Manjunath then stepped up his game and grabbed five points on the trot to earn the bragging rights.

The second game also started on an equal footing but Manjunath managed to lead 11-9 at the break and then sealed the contest in 47 minutes.
