Two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu reached the women’s singles final of the Syed Modi International badminton tournament after her fifth seeded Russian opponent Evgeniya Kosetskaya retired hurt midway into their semi-final here on Saturday.

Sindhu, the top seed, easily pocketed the first game 21-11 before Kosetskaya conceded the second women’s singles semi-final match. Former world champion Sindhu will face compatriot Malvika Bansod in the summit clash on Sunday.
