Super Sindhu: Twitter Lauds India’s Golden Girl on BWF Finals Win

Sindhu ended a run of six successive defeats in major finals to clinch the biggest title of her career.

Star shuttler PV Sindhu made it a Super Sunday for Indian sport on 16 December by clinching the BWF World Tour Finals 2018 title at Guangzhou, China.

Victory over Nozomi Okuhara made Sindhu the first claimant of the ‘new’ crown (the tournament was earlier held as the BWF Super Series Finals), and also the first Indian badminton player to lift any BWF season-ending prize.

It also ended a lengthy wait to bag a major trophy for one of the most consistent performers in the game over recent years.

PV Sindhu's big tournament finals:

Silver 2016 Olympics
Silver 2017 World Championships
Silver 2017 Super Series Finals
Silver 2018 Commonwealth Games
Silver 2018 World Championships
Silver 2018 Asian Games

GOLD 2018 World Tour Finals

WELL DONE AND WELL DESERVED!!!
