The World Championship gold has healed the wounds of the all past final debacles, except the Rio Olympics, said Indian badminton ace P.V. Sindhu, who has kept an empty space in her trophy cabinet for the top prize, which she hopes to claim in Tokyo next year.
An Olympic silver-medallist, Sindhu clinched the historic World Championship gold at Basel after beating Japan’s Nozomi Okuhara 21-7, 21-7 in her third successive final.
Before that historic day, the 24-year-old Indian was criticised for losing in the finals of major events such as the Rio Games, World Championships (2017, 2018), 2017 Dubai Super Series Finals, the 2018 Commonwealth Games and the Jakarta Asian Games.
