P.V. Sindhu creates history at the BWF World Tour Finals 2018

Guangzhou: India’s P.V. Sindhu became the first Indian to win the season finale at the BWF World Tour Finals 2018 badminton tournament here on Sunday. Sindhu defeated title favourite Nozomi Okuhara of Japan 21-19, 21-17 in the women’s singles final. The straight games win is special for the star Indian shuttler, who has won no title this year, although she made it to the finals of four tournaments, including the BWF World Championships and the Asian Games.

She finished runner-up at the 2016 Rio Olympics, the 2017 World Championships and the 2017 World Superseries Finals. She had also lost to Okuhara in the epic World Championships final in Glasgow last year. (IANS)
