<p> Indian shuttler PV Sindhu continued her rampaging run to clinch the Malaysia Masters Grand Prix Gold title with a straight-game win over Scotland’s Kristy Gilmour, making a resounding start to the new season here on Sunday.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The third-seeded Indian prevailed 21-15, 21-9 in a 32- minute clash to clinch her fifth Grand Prix Gold title to avenge a 2013 loss to the Scot, their only previous encounter before Sunday’s match.<br /><br />This is also Sindhu’s second Malaysia Masters Grand Prix Gold title, having won it in 2013 as well. She also completed a hat-trick at the Macau Open Grand Prix Gold in November last year.<br /><br />“It is a great win and a fantastic start to the season for me. I have been playing well and I was confident of winning ahead of the final. In fact, the semifinal was a tough match and it boosted my confidence,” a jubilant Sindhu said after the title win.<br /><br />“I didn’t expect the final to be easy. I had played her long back in 2013 but it was a different match and I am a different player now. I took the lead and didn’t relax and it turned out to be a one-sided match.<br /><br />“This win has given me a lot of confidence and I hope to do well in the next events, specially at Syed Modi which I am playing next in Lucknow. I will be also playing the BAC in Hyderabad which is a team event,” added the two-time World Championships bronze-medallist.<br /><br />Sindhu, who had an unbeaten streak at the Premier Badminton League (PBL), produced a dominating performance as she showed better court coverage and produced some delectable strokes to outclass her opponent in the summit clash.<br /><br />In the opening game, Sindhu made early strides, moving to 5-2 and built on it steadily, powering to 18-10 in quick time. The World No 20 Scot reeled off four straight points but could never threaten Sindhu who closed the game without much effort.<br /><br />Sindhu produced some awesome smashes and caught the Scottish off-guard with her superior placements. She also dominated the net and used her drop shots to bamboozle her rival, racing through the second game as well.</p>
