In Badminton, two-time Olympic medalist, P.V. Sindhu has won the Women's singles title at the Syed Modi International tournament. Sindhu defeated compatriot Malvika Bansod 21-13, 21-16 in the summit clash in Lucknow on Sunday that lasted for 35 minutes. Sindhu hardly broke her sweat to get past Bansod. It was former world champion Sindhu's second Syed Modi title after having annexed the BWF World Tour Super 300 event in 2017. Sindhu used her vast experience and skills to great effect as Bansod found it extremely difficult to adjust to her opponent's game from the onset. Sindhu used her height to mix her smashes with pinpoint drop shots, which Bansod failed to counter as the Olympic medallist raced to a 11-4 lead at the break.
