Indian ace Saina Nehwal received a
huge boost ahead of the Rio Olympics
as she clinched her second Australian
Open title after defeating China’s Sun
Yu in a thrilling three-game final of
the Super Series badminton
tournament in Sydney on Sunday.
The 26-year-old from Hyderabad eked
out a 11-21 21-14 21-19 over the
World No. 12 Sun in a fighting summit
clash that lasted an hour and 11
minutes in Sydney.
London Olympics bronze medallist,
Saina, who had beaten two world
champions — Thailand’s Ratchanok
Intanon (2013) and China’s Yihan
Wang (2011) in the quarterfinals and
semifinals –, thus clinched her maiden
title of the season and pocketed a
cheque of USD 56,250.
It is Saina’s second Australian Open
victory, having clinched the title in
2014 as well.
