Spain Masters 300 Final: Sindhu loses in straight sets against the 23-year-old Indonesian

PV Sindhu lost the Spain Masters 300 final against Tunjung Gregoria Mariska in straight sets and had to settle for the silver medal from the tournament. This was Sindhu's 10th BWF Final and the first of this year. With World No.1 Carolina Marin losing in the semis, the hopes were really high for Sindhu to win the final. But, Tunjung continued from where she left off in the semis and did not give any chance to Sindhu make any statement in the match at Centro Deportivo Municipal Gallur.

Tunjung, the 23-year-old Indonesian dominated Sindhu from the first game in the final. Despite losing the previous seven games to Sinfhu, Tunjung looked confident from the word go.

Sindhu's dream of becoming the first-ever Indian to win a Spain Masters 300 title was over in just 29 minutes as she failed to dominate the Indonesian shuttler. Although Sindhu did not look at her best in the final, she has shown a few flashes of her best in this week.
