Sindhu crowned Singapore Open Champion
A hard fought 21-9, 11-21, 21-15 win for PV Sindhu in the final of Singapore Open and this is now her first Super 500 title for the Indian.
A much needed victory for Sindhu who has looked a bit out of sorts this season and with the Commonwealth Games around the corner, this win should give her a lot of confidence to go for gold in Birmingham.
