In recent years, 28-year-old Indians have faced many strikes in the tournament finals. After losing to Carolina Marin of Spain at the 2016 Rio Olympics, she took the silver home.
Sindus, who was always in control of the match, sealed the championship with forehand smash before falling on the court floor on his hands and knees.
