Sensational Sindhu clinches Grand Prix Gold title in Malaysia
The third-seeded Indian thus made a resounding start to the new season.
This is also Sindhu's second Malaysia Masters Grand Prix Gold title, having won it in 2013
"It is a great win and a fantastic start to the season for me. I have been playing well and I was confident of winning ahead of the final. In fact, the semifinal was a tough match and it boosted my confidence," a jubilant Sindhu said after the title win.
"I didn't expect the final to be easy. I had played against her in 2013 but it was a different match and I am a different player now. I took a lead and didn't relax and it turned out to be a one-sided match. "
"This win has given me a lot of confidence and I hope to do well in the next events, specially at Syed Modi which I am playing next in Lucknow. I will be also playing the BAC in Hyderabad which is a Team event," added the two-time World Championships bronze-medallist.
