Singapore Open: PV Sindhu wins first Super 500 title :clap: :clap:

PV Sindhu won the first Super 500 title of her career when she defeated reigning Asian champion Wang Zhi Yi of China 21-9, 11-21, 21-15 in the final of the Singapore Open on Sunday.

It comes after a rough stretch on the Asian leg with back-to-back losses to her nemesis Tai Tzu. This is her first 500 or better since the world championship win in 2019. This is her first 500 or better final in 2022. This is an important marker for the world No 7 while the rankings are still frozen.
