Sindhu, the double World Championship bronze medallist, beat her World No 8 Korean opponent 21-19, 12-21, 21-10 in a semifinal contest that lasted one hour and nine minutes. The World No 12 Indian thus put herself on course for a fifth Grand Prix Gold event. She had won the same tournament in 2013 before bagging three more Grand Prix Gold tournament titles at the Macau Open (2013, 2014 and 2015).
