Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium: India's PV Sindhu credited her focus, composure and guidance from her coach after reaching the women's singles final of the Japan Open 2026 on Saturday, defeating China's Chen Yufei in a semi-final that ended prematurely due to her opponent's injury.
Sindhu was leading 21-19, 15-10 at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium when the former Olympic champion retired with a hamstring issue, sending the Indian into her maiden BWF Super 750 final and her first BWF World Tour title clash since December 2024.
Speaking after the match, Sindhu said maintaining concentration from the opening rally was central to her game plan against one of the world's best players.
