Indonesia鈥檚 Anthony Sinisuka Ginting claimed his first international title at the Korea Open World SuperSeries event yesterday, beating compatriot Jonathan Christie in a neck-and-neck men鈥檚 singles final in Seoul.

Ginting, ranked 24th in the world, won the first game 21-13 but dropped the second 19-21 to 22nd-ranked Christie. Ginting 鈥 who upset world No. 1 and local favorite Son Wan-ho a day earlier 鈥 fought back to take the third 22-20 and clinch the title. The women鈥檚 singles saw a repeat of last month鈥檚 world championship final, but this time it was India鈥檚 PV Sindhu who came out on top, beating Japan鈥檚 Nozomi Okuhara in a pulsating match. Sindhu, the Olympic silver medalist and fifth seed, edged the eighth-seeded world champion Okuhara 22-20, 11-21, 21-18 after an 83-minute battle.
