PV Sindhu put in a dominating performance to completely outclass her Chinese opponent and march into her maiden women’s singles final at the World Badminton Championships being held in Glasgow.
Sindhu destroyed Chen Yufei of China 21-13, 21-10 on Saturday night in a match lasting just 48 minutes, thereby assuring herself of at least a silver medal. Sindhu had won the bronze at the World Championships in 2013 and 2014.
. The Indian shuttler will face Japan’s Nozomi Okuhara, who beat Saina Nehwal in the 1st semi-final, for the gold.
With this win, she also became only the second Indian to reach the final at the World Championships after Saina achieved the feat in the last edition at Jakarta.
Sindhu had an upper hand in the last two meetings having gotten the better of the Japanese at Rio Olympics and 2017 Singapore Open.
