Internet Desk: India’s star shuttler and Rio Olympics silver medalist PV Sindhu made history today as she won the title in Korea by beating Japan’s Nozomi Okuhara in the women’s singles final at Korea Open Superseries in Seoul. This Super Series was the third title of her career and second this year. In a hard fought match of three games 22-20 11-21 21-18 Sindhu bagged the title to make her nation proud.
With this win Sindhu avenged her loss from Glasgow where she lost to Okuhara in a tough three-game battle.
Expectations of an epic battle were raised after Sindhu and Okuhara set up a summit clash for the second time in little over three weeks since they had fought for an hour and 50 minutes in one of the greatest women’s singles matches in the World Championships final last month.
Today’s summit clash also turned out to be another electrifying contest as Sindhu displayed great stubbornness to lay claim to her third super series title of her career.
World no. 4 Sindhu, who had clinched the 2016 China Super Series Premier, India Open Super Series and Syed Modi Grand Prix Gold this season, thus dashed Okuhara’s bid to win her third straight title after winning the Australian Open and the World Championship.
