Sindhu beats Catalonia in India open world fin.

New Delhi. Indian Badminton Player PV Sindhu defeated Spanish Olympic champion, Carolina Marin, in the final of the Yonex India Open World Superseries here.

The 21-year-old towered over her opponent in a battle that was effectively decided at the net, winning 21-19, 21-16 in 47 minutes.

The crowd packed into the Siri Fort Sports Complex at least three hours before the final day’s proceedings began and there was no doubt which match they had come to watch. This is not to talk of the huge TV audience.

Third seed Sindhu, the world No 5, upstaged the top seed and world No 3, making good her forecast that superior fitness and home support will carry her through. The win made her richer by $24,000 (approx R15.55 lakh).

Sindhu’s only loss this year came in the All England quarters, and her emotional win over Saina Nehwal in the last eight here showed she was at the top of her game.
