PM, Telugu CMs greet Sindhu
New Delhi, Nov.20: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday congratulated Badminton player P V Sindhu for her first super series title in the China Open. “Congratulations to P V Sindhu for her first super series title. Well played in the China Open,” the Prime Minister tweeted. Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao also congratulated the Indian shuttler and wished PV Sindhu for future tournaments as well. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu also hailed Sindhu’s victory in her first super series title in the China Open. “All Indians, especially Telugus are proud of her performance in China”, he added. In a pulsating final played in China's Fuzhou, Sindhu clinched her maiden Super Series Premier title after edging out Sun Yu in the final of the USD 700,000 China Open badminton tournament. The seventh-seed defeated Sun Yu 21-11, 17-12, 21-11 in a gruelling summit clash that lasted 69 minutes. This was the third straight year that an Indian woman made the China Open singles final. Ace Indian shuttler Saina Nehwal won the title in 2014 and finished runner-up in the 2015 edition of the event. The Rio Olympics silver medallist had suffered second-round exits at the Denmark and French Open tournaments.
