New Delhi: Rio Olympics silver medallist PV Sindhu produced a disciplined performance to outwit Saina Nehwal in straight games in a much-anticipated encounter as Chennai Smashers entered the finals of the Premier Badminton League-2 with a 4-1 win over Awadhe Warriors here yesterday.
China Open champion Sindhu, who has never defeated London Olympics bronze winner Saina in a tournament, finally exorcised the ghosts of her losses with a 11-7 11-8 victory over her senior colleague in a crucial women’s singles clash which was Chennai’s trump match.
The Awadhe Warriors then needed to win their men’s doubles Trump match but V Shem Goh and Markis Kido failed to produce the desired result and went down 3-11 10-12 to Chennai’s Chris Adcock and Mads Pieler Kolding in the final rubber.
