PV Sindhu outclasses Line Kjaersfeldt to lift second title of the season at Hylo Open

PV Sindhu returned to the winner's circle in style, beating Denmark's Line Kjaersfeldt 21-12, 21-14 in the Hylo Open final on Sunday to clinch her second title of the season. The Indian shuttler wrapped up a dominant campaign in Germany with a straight-games victory.

The triumph came a week after Sindhu finished runner-up at the French Open, where she lost to world No. 1 An Se Young in the final. The two-time Olympic medallist had also won the Japan Open in July, making the Hylo Open her second title on the BWF World



Tour this season.

"It was important for me to give my 100% irrespective of who the opponent was. We've played a lot of times and for me it was important that I focus on every point. It's just not about the whole game, but every point mattered to me," Sindhu said.

"I took the lead from the beginning and I didn't give her a chance," she added.

The world No. 8 Indian thus grabbed 9200 ranking points to stay on track for the season-ending World Tour Finals.
