PV Sindhu became the first Indian to win the Korea Open Super Series badminton tournament on Sunday. It is the third Super Series title of her career.
She earned a 21-19, 11-21, 21-18 win over Nozomi Okuhara of Japan in a final that lasted 1 hour and 23 minutes. The win means that Sindhu also avenged her World Championships final loss against Okuhara in Glasgow.
The final was expected to be a great clash specially following their epic match in the Glasgow last month. Sindhu and Okuhara had pushed themseleves to the limits in that match which included a memorable 73 shot rally.
Though, it never reached the same heights as their previous encounter, Sunday’s duel in Seoul definately did not disappoint.
