In a competitive women's singles final on Sunday in Singapore, double Olympic medalist PV Sindhu defeated Wang Zhi Yi of China to win the Singapore Open Super 500 trophy. The 27-year-old from Hyderabad, Sindhu, prevailed against the 22-year-old Wang, the current Asian Championships gold medalist, by maintaining her composure in crucial circumstances. The Indians won by a total score of 21-9, 11-21, and 21-15. Wang and PV Sindhu had previously faced each other only once at the All England Championships this year, with Sindhu winning 1-0. For Sindhu, who will be leading India's campaign at the Commonwealth Games, which get underway on July 28 in Birmingham, the title run will be a major lift.
