Fuzhou (China): Olympic silver medallist PV Sindhu clinched her maiden Super Series Premier title after edging out Sun Yu of China in the finals of the $700,000 China Open badminton tournament on Sunday.
Sindhu, who became the toast of the country after becoming the first Indian woman to win a silver Olympic medal, continued her rampaging run as she lifted the prestigious title after beating Sun Yu 21-11 17-21 21-11 in the summit clash that lasted an hour and nine minutes.

World No 11 Sindhu had come into the match with a 2-3 head-to-head record, but statistics counted little when she took the court at the Haixia Olympic Sports Center. Sindhu dished out a dominating game and zoomed to an early 11-5 lead.
............
Saina Nehwal had clinched the China Open in 2014 before finishing runners-up last year. Sindhu had reached her maiden Super Series final at the Denmark Open last year, but the title eluded her then as she lost in straight games to 2012 Olympic champion China's Li Xuerei.

One of the most meanest fittest women athlete from India. Saina or Sania never had the level of fitness Sindhu has. Plus her height is an damn advantage. She is just 21, and a lot to go. And we need more top players to represent India.
