From being awarded a bye in the Round of 64 to beating Singapore’s Yeo Jia Min in straight games in the semi-final, PV Sindhu relished a smooth journey so far in the campaign. She particularly deserves much praise for the last match as she did significantly well even after suffering an injury to her Achilles tendon. The final clash with Canada’s Michelle Li was not an easy one as the Indian shuttler has not recovered yet and had to deal with the pain during the match. Sindhu started the match well as she got an early 3-1 lead winning back-to-back points. But Michelle Li responded in style and bounced back well by taking full advantage of the occasional errors done by Sindhu. She was continuously trying to take Sindhu forward and make her deliver some lower lifts into the middle of the court. Even though she was battling her previous-match injury, Sindhu prevented the Canadian’s cross smashes with commendable techniques to win the first game 21-15. Mitchell Li made a good start to the second game but failed to keep the momentum. This time, Sindhu showed a defensive masterclass making it hard for Mitchell Li to come back to the game. The Indian star used her experience and took complete control of the game with clever anticipation and powerful smashes. The latter half witnessed a great competition between the two as Mitchell Li tried anything and everything to cut down the lead. Sindhu held on to her form and won the second game 21-13.
