Sindhu lifts Macau Gold title

Macau: PV Sindhu continued to take giant strides towards asserting herself as the rising star of Indian badminton by lifting the Macau Open Grand Prix Gold title with a thumping win over Canada’s Michelle Li in the summit clash on Sunday.
The top-seeded 18-year-old won the match 21-15, 21-12 in a mere 37 minutes to clinch her second Grand Prix Gold title after the Malaysia Open in May.
The Indian sensation, who was bestowed the Arjuna award this year, was ruthlessly dominant from start to finish in the lop-sided encounter against the seventh-seeded Canadian.
“I was confident going into the final after I defeated the Chinese player and knew that if I did not make mistake I can win the title,” Sindhu said after winning her second GP Gold title of the year. (PTI)
