PV Sindhu vs Nozomi Okuhara, Live Badminton score and updates, Korea Open Super Series 2017 Final

And with that, we wrap up our Korea Open liveblog.

Hope you enjoyed it.

Do join us for the Japan Open liveblog next week. Let's hope we get more such delightful moments in Tokyo too.

Till then, goodbye!

This is the first time in a year that Sindhu won two Superseries titles in one season. She has earlier won the India Open Superseries in March. She also reigned supreme at the Syed Modi International Grand Prix Gold in January.

What was interesting to see is how Sindhu outsmarted Okuhara at the net! Her tendency to throw in that backhand volley stunned Okuhara many times and she forced the Japanese to commit mistakes.

It took yet another display of guts and gumption and a lot of perseverance from PV Sindhu to finally break the Okuhara barrier!

What a way to avenge the World Championships defeat!
