NEW DELHI
Indian badminton great PV Sindhu has come forward with heavy praise for young prodigy Tanvi Sharma. The seventeen-year-old created history by becoming the youngest-ever player to win the prestigious Taipei Open. Sindhu stated that the teenager possesses all the required qualities to turn into a truly special player on the international circuit.
The young shuttler put on a tactical masterclass at the tournament. She faced Vietnam’s experienced player Nguyen Thuy Linh in the summit clash. Tanvi kept her nerves completely under control and defeated her opponent in straight games with a score of 21-16, 21-16. The brilliant performance lasted for just thirty-six minutes, sealing a memorable maiden BWF World Tour Super 300 title for the young star.
Taking to her social media account, double Olympic medallist Sindhu expressed her immense pride. She mentioned that she has watched Tanvi closely for years and always believed in her natural talent, stroke-making ability, and fearless attitude against top players. Sindhu added that the youngster only needed maturity and experience, which are now clearly reflecting in her gameplay.
The senior star encouraged the teenager to stay grounded, keep working hard, and maintain her hunger for more trophies. She also emphasized that the future of Indian badminton looks extremely bright with talents like Tanvi stepping up to win big titles.
This massive victory makes Tanvi only the second Indian women’s singles player to conquer the Taipei Open, following legendary Saina Nehwal’s triumph back in 2008. It also ends a long seventeen-year wait for India in this specific category at the event. Badminton fans across the nation are celebrating this huge milestone, hoping it serves as the perfect launchpad for many more golden moments in her promising career.
