Macau, Dec 1:
P V 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, here today.
The top-seeded 18-year-old won the match 21-15 21-12 in merely 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.
In the first game, Sindhu raced to a 7-0 lead within just two minutes of start of play before Li finally registered herself on the score sheet.
But the Indian was relentless in her attack and never allowed any breathing space to her world number 30 rival. (PTI)
