TIL Desk Sports/ Ecstatic after clinching her maiden Super Series premier title at China Open on Sunday, Olympic silver medallist P V 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.

“This is my first super series title and I am very happy, I have no words to express. Last time I played Denmark final,” she added. Talking about the tournament and today’s match, Sindhu said: “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.
