India’s ace shuttler PV Sindhu gave a remarkable feat as she won her second women’s singles title at the Swiss Open Super 300 badminton tournament on Sunday. She claimed victory by defeating Thailand’s Busanan Ongbamrungphan.
With a score of 21-16, 21-8, she took only 49 minutes to defeat her opponent at the St. Jakobshalle. Sindhu has already won two Super 300 titles this year. In January, she won the Syed Modi International. She is the second Indian woman to win the Swiss Open, after Saina Nehwal in 2011 and 2012.
All hail the champion! 👑

Her accomplishments inspire the youth of India. Best wishes to her for her future endeavours,” said PM Modi in a tweet.
