New Delhi: PV Sindhu returned to winning ways, defeating Denmark’s Line Kjaersfeldt 21-12, 21-14 in the Hylo Open 2026 final to claim her second title of the season on Sunday, November 1. The Indian shuttler finished a dominant campaign in Germany with straight-games wins.

A former world champion, Sindhu secured the Japan Open title in July and finished as runner-up at the French Open last week. She showed brilliant control and quality in her stroke-play, while registering a dominating victory over eighth seed Line in the 39-minute final of the USD 500,000 event.

The world No. 8 Indian also earned 9200 ranking points, keeping her on track for a spot at the season-ending BWF World Tour Finals. Sindhu had a dominating 6-1 head-to-head lead against her opponent, and Line’s only victory came at the 2025 Sudirman Cup Finals.
