Double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu registered a commanding win in the women's singles final clash of the Singapore Open 2022 against China's Wang Zhi Yi. She won her maiden Super 500 title for the year by 21-9, 11-21, and 21-15.
During the first set which started with a score of 0-2, Sindhu bounced back and added 11 straight points at the first-game interval. And then the momentum continued as Sindhu wrapped up that entire set in just 12 minutes.
However, Sindhu dropped the second set. Wang Zhi Yi looked confident during that set as she won five straight points after that game started. The score during the interval was 3-11. The China Shuttler then went on to win the second game with some net shots and some smashes.
The third set which was the tie-breaker started with a bang from the sides. It was indeed a nail-biting game as both the players played brilliant shots and added points to the board one after the other. The third game seemed visibly inclined towards Sindhu for some time and then it looked like her Chinese counterpart will emerge victorious. But when the score reached 12-11, Sindhu played like there was no coming back. She maintained the lead and eventually ended up winning Gold at the Singapore Open 2022.
The Indian Shuttler Sindhu had claimed two Super 300 titles at Syed Modi International and Swiss Open this year.
In the semifinal match, she registered an easy victory by 21-15 21-7 in a 32-minute clash.
