It was a sweet revenge. P V Sindhu avenged her loss to Nozomi Okuhara in World Championships final in Glasgow by defeating her in the final of Korea Open Superseries. She became the first Indian to lift the title in Korea after her 22-20 11-21 21-18 win in Seoul.
The first game was a tightly-contested affair, with Okuhara having two game points at 20-10, but Sindhu reeled off 4 points in a row to take the set. But the Japanese showed her power in the second set to win it 20-11.
In the third set, Sindhu, however did not allow the loss in the second set to dominate her. She calmly and steadily raced into an 11-5 lead at the mid-game interval. The Japanese tried her best to come back in the match and the game was evenly poised though it was 19-16 in Sindhu’s favour. But a 56-shot rally between the two super players occurred at this point which was lost by Okuhara as she netted a drop shot. Sindhu won the point and eventually the set and the match.
This is Sindhu’s second Super Series title of the year, having earlier won the India Open, beating Spain’s Carolina Marin in the final.
Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult
to get that “perfect balance” between user
friendliness and visual appearance. I must say you have
done a great job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very fast for me on Chrome.
Outstanding Blog!
