Indian badminton ace PV Sindhu reigned supreme in Singapore as she beat Wang Zhi Yi of China to clinch the Singapore Open title.
Sindhu claimed the title as she beat her opponent in three games 21-9, 11-21, 21-15.
“Thanks to everyone out there who has been supportive. Singapore is a nice city, it is good to be here,” said Sindhu with a wide grin on her face.
“It is always nice to win the finals after long. Getting this title today means a lot as it gives me a lot of confidence and will surely take me to another level,” Sindhu expressed her joy on the championship.
“The whole tournament has been good. This is just the start and I look forward to relaxing a bit before turning my attention to the CWG,” said the girl from Hyderabad in a post-match interview.
The Indian audience in the crowd was rooting for Sindhu as rally cries of ‘Sindhu…Sindhu’ and ‘Bharat Matha Ki Jay’ were heard around the Singapore indoor stadium.
She becomes the second Indian woman, 12 years after Sania Nehwal, to win the Singapore Open.
This is Sindhu’s third title of the year and 18th in all.
