India’s women badminton player PV Sindhu once again made headlines by clinching her maiden Super Series premier title at China Open on Sunday. The Olympic silver medallist Sindhu said she was left speechless with emotions as she has finally realised a long-time dream. The 21-year-old Sindhu registered a hard-fought 21-11, 17-21, 21-11 victory over China’s Sun Yu to clinch the China Open, just months after becoming the first Indian woman to win a silver at Olympic Games in Rio in August this year. With this news, her name was soon among the top trends of social media and many big names congratulated her for this proud achievement.
“It has been a dream for a long time to win a super series. After the Olympics, everyone was asking me whats next? It was important for me to get a super series title. Life changed a lot after the Olympics. People thought I will take a long time to get back. But I worked hard. This is my first super series title and I am very happy, I have no words to express. Last time I played Denmark final,” Sindhu said. Talking about the tournament and today’s match, Sindhu added, “I played well. It is a great day for me. I just thought i can give my best, because I practiced hard. I was quite confident. From the first round it was tough.”
With this milestone, cricket fraternity did not miss to congratulate and we present some of the tweets of cricketers from social zone.
