Two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu has reached the women’s singles final of the Syed Modi International Badminton Tournament after fifth-seeded Russian opponent Evgeniya Kosetskaya pulled out injured midway through their semi-final here on Saturday.
Sindhu, the number one seed, easily pocketed the opener 21-11 before Kosetskaya conceded the second semi-final in women’s singles.
Former world champion Sindhu will face compatriot Malvika Bansod in the summit clash on Sunday.
Malvika beat fellow Indian Anupama Upadhyaya 19-21 21-19 21-7 in a tough three game contest.
It was expected to be an easy outing for Sindhu in terms of form, world ranking as well as head-to-head record.
Ranked seventh in the BWF rankings, Sindhu had beaten world No. 28 Kosetskaya twice before Saturday’s draw, and the Indian ace once again came out on top to extend her dominating record against the Russian.
