Sindhu in Spain Masters final, her first since CWG

Having never won a game, let alone a match, against PV Sindhu in her three previous meetings, Singapore's Yeo Jia Min appeared pretty confident and relaxed while leading 20-15 in the first game. The five game points became seven, making it the best opportunity for the 24-year-old to beat Sindhu but the second seeded Indian fought back in remarkable fashion to save all and snatch the first game 24-22. Riding the momentum, Sindhu also won the second game 22-20 to enter the women's singles summit clash of the $210,000 Spain Masters in Madrid - her first final of the year.

Even though the second seeded Indian is far from her best, reaching the final day of competition at the Super 300 tournament will boost her confidence especially after suffering the worst start to a season, exiting her first three tournaments of the year - Malaysia Open, India Open and All England Open in the first round. She also went down in Round 2 of Swiss Open last week where she was the defending champion. The former world champion is slowly beginning to find her groove as she made her first final since winning the Commonwealth Games gold in August last year.
