On Monday, India’s sporting icon P. V. Sindhu added a Commonwealth Singles gold to her wide array of medals with a convincing straight-game win over Canada’s Michelle Li in the final here.
The world number seven from India outplayed her 13th-ranked opponent 21-15, 21-13 in front of a packed crowd at the NEC arena. The 30-year-old had to produce something special for her first win against Sindhu in eight years but the Indian did not give her a window.
Sindhu was clinical in her short game and pounced on the slightest of attacking opportunities.
