French Open: Resolute PV Sindhu sets up final vs invincible An Se Young in Paris

PV Sindhu reached the French Open final for the first time in her career, overcoming Japan's Hina Akechi in a three-game battle in Paris on Saturday. The two-time Olympic medallist will face world No. 1 An Se Young of South Korea in Sunday's summit clash, with a second Super 750 title of the year within her reach.Sindhu, who won the Japan Open Super 750 in July, continued her encouraging run on the tour with a 21-10, 20-22, 21-16 victory over world No. 22 Akechi in an hour and 13 minutes. However, standing between the Indian and another title is an opponent who has proved particularly difficult to overcome.An has been dominant on the tour, with Sindhu yet to register a win in their 10 previous meetings. The Indian suffered straight-games defeats to the Korean at the Indonesia Open and Singapore Open earlier this year.
