Priyanshu Rajawat ended India's wait for a singles title in 2023 as the young shuttler won the Orleans Masters Super 300 tournament on Sunday, April 9.
Priyanshu defeated World No. 49 Magnus Johannesen in a battle of 21-year-olds in the men's singles final in France.
The 21-year-old’s only previous final on the BWF World Tour was at last year’s Odisha Open – a Super 100 event. He was also the first Indian to reach the men’s singles final this year.
It was also the first men’s singles title on the BWF World Tour for an Indian since January last year when Lakshya Sen bagged the India Open.
