In the final game both players were neck to neck till 9-all, here Marin opened 3 points lead 9-12 then 11-15 ... Sindhu crawled back to 14-15 and then from 14-16 she won 6 points in a row for giving herself four match points, 20-16 ... Sindhu converted second match point with excellent cross-court smash and completed victory in 75 minutes ... In the final she is facing another former WR #1 Chinese Xuerui Li.
