Badminton News: PV Sindhu targets elusive gold in final showdown

India's double silver medallist P V Sindhu will look to produce another masterclass when she resumes her quest for an elusive gold at the BWF World Championships today. PV Sindhu will take on Nozomi Okuhara in the repeat of the 2017 World Championships classic in Basel, Switzerland. Sindhu has been the most consistent performer in the World Championships in the last few years with two back-to-back silver and as many bronze medals but a gold medal has so far eluded her. The Indian ace has always managed to find her best form in the World Championships, producing stellar performances but she missed the trick in the summit clash twice. While she lost to Nozomi Okuhara of Japan in an epic battle, lasting 110 minutes in the 2017 edition, Olympic champion Carolina Marin of Spain stopped her in the summit clash in 2018. (Hold) Let’s look at the head through graphics. Sindhu has beaten Okuhara 5 times in 8 meetings since the epic World Championships 2017 final including the quarter-final at last year's world meet. The familiarity factor should help Sindhu go one step further. (Hold) Let’s listen in to what Sindhu and Okuhara said after their semi-final victories.
