India badminton ace PV Sindhu stormed into the women’s singles final at the Singapore Open 2022 after defeating Japan’s Saena Kawakami in the semifinal on Saturday.
World No 7 Sindhu beat world No 38 Kawakami 21-15, 21-7 in her final four clash, which lasted for 31 minutes. Former world champion will face the winner of the other semifinal between Japan’s Aya Ohori and Chinese shuttler Wang Zhi Yi in Sunday’s final.
It will be the Tokyo bronze medallist’s third summit clash of 2022, having gone on to win both the Syed Modi International and Swiss Open BWF Super 300 titles in January and March, respectively. However, the Singapore meet is a Super 500 tournament.
Two-time Olympic medallist Sindhu started the match with intent and raced to a 7-2 lead after peppering her Japanese opponent with some well-placed smashes and deft drop shots.
Earlier on Friday, London 2012 bronze medallist Saina Nehwal and Thomas Cup champion HS Prannoy had bowed out in the women’s and men’s singles quarter-finals respectively while the duo of MR Arjun and Dhruv Kapila had also crashed out in the men’s doubles final eight clash.
