PV SINDHU SCRIPTS HISTORY; BECOMES 1ST INDIAN TO ACHIEVE THIS MASSIVE FEAT

India's ace badminton star PV Sindhu has scripted history by becoming the first Indian to win the season-ending BWF World Tour Finals tournament.

Sindhu was left with tears of joy when she finally laid her hands on a gold medal by claiming the World Tour Finals with a win over 2017 world champion Nozomi Okuhara. Beating Okuhara in a straight game, Sindhu became the first Indian to achieve the feat.

Sindhu, who had lost in the summit clash to another Japanese, Akane Yamaguchi in the last edition, put in a brilliant all-round display to give no chance to Okuhara in the final.

Dubbed a bridesmaid after falling short of gold on a number of occasions, Sindhu finally broke her jinx, let out tears of relief and joy, and sunk to her knees. Sindhu, though, had just too much in her locker and won points at crucial junctures to maintain her dominance in the match.

After leading the second game from start to finish, the Indian star grabbed three match points and converted them immediately to seal the issue in her favour.
