Bengaluru, September 17: India's P V Sindhu beat Japan's world champion Nozomo Okuhara 22-12, 11-21, 21-18 to clinch the Korea Open Super Series women's badminton title in Seoul on Sunday (September 17).
The 22-year-old made history by becoming the first Indian to win the Korea Open.
Okuhara had beaten Sindhu in the World Championship final at Glasgow last month.
So it was indeed a sweet revenge for Sindhu, the Rio Games silver medallist.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar were the earliest to wish Sindhu on her accomplishment.
Congratulations to @Pvsindhu1 on emerging victorious in the Korea Open Super Series. India is immensely proud of her accomplishment: PM

Earlier, fifth-seeded Sindhu had defeated China's He Bingjiao 21-10, 17-21, 21-16 in the semifinal.
The ace Indian shuttler was in her elements in the 82-minutes final against eighth-seeded Okuhara at S K Handball Indoor Arena as she won her third superseries title of her career and the second of the year, having earlier won the Indian Open where she beat Rio Olympics gold-medal winner Carolina Marin in the final.
World no. 4 Sindhu, who had clinched the 2016 China Super Series Premier and India Open Super Series and Syed Modi Grand Prix Gold this season, also dashed world No.9 Okuhara's bid to win her third straight title after the Australian Open and the recent World Championships.
The head-to-head record after the final between the duo now stays 4-4 as the battle for supremacy between the two Asian shuttlers promises to be an exciting one.
Fans took to Twitter to congratulate Sindhu.
