The BWF Finals feature the top eight players/pairs across all disciplines and will take place this year from December 9 to 13 in China.

Sindhu clinched her second title of the season after defeating Denmark's Line Kjaersfeldt 21-12, 21-14 in the women's singles final of the Hylo Open on Sunday. The two-time Olympic medallist wrapped up a dominant campaign in Germany with a straight-games victory, returning to the winner's circle a week after finishing runner-up at the French Open, where she lost to world No. 1 An Se Young.

She won the BWF World Tour Finals title back in 2018.

Sindhu had earlier won the Japan Open in July, making the Hylo Open her second title on the BWF World Tour this season.

She also made it to the final of the French Open and the semifinals of the Malaysia Open and the Australian Open. (ANI)
