PV Sindhu clinches Hylo Open title in Germany, wins second crown of 2026
India’s double Olympic medallist P.V. Sindhu clinched the women’s singles title at the Hylo Open 2026, defeating Denmark’s Line Højmark Kjærsfeldt in straight games in the final on Sunday.
The second-seeded Indian registered a convincing 21-12, 21-14 victory over the world No. 25 Danish shuttler in just 39 minutes to claim her second title of the season.
The triumph marks a strong comeback for Sindhu, who had finished runner-up at the French Open last week. She had earlier won the Japan Open in July, making the Hylo Open her second BWF World Tour title of 2026.
Sindhu dominated the final with her attacking strokes, precise placement and excellent court coverage, allowing her opponent little opportunity to take control of the contest.
The victory also earned Sindhu 9,200 ranking points, strengthening her chances of qualifying for the season-ending BWF World Tour Finals.
With this achievement, Sindhu has become the first Indian woman to win the women's singles title at the Hylo Open.
The latest triumph adds another significant chapter to the career of one of India's most successful badminton players, who has won two Olympic medals and a world championship title.
