Wow! Amazing! Incredible! An Indian world champion in a popular physical sport like badminton!! Gold! Indian National Anthem! 21-7 21-7 ! I am really getting emotional right now. Who would have thought that this day will come! A gold that comes after a number of defeats is really sweet . And what a birthday present for her mother! She has already won gold at the highest non-BWF major (WT Finals) last year. Now she wins a gold at BWF world championship. She has 5 world championship medals. She already has a medal at the olympics. You are the truly great Sindhu! I have always said greatness is subjective. But... She is a contender for the greatest Indian sportsperson ever and also the greatest WS badminton player ever. And even more so if she wins the gold in Tokyo (and possibly an All England in future). And I think the S.Korean coaches have really helped. She even thanked miss Kim publically along with Gopichand and the Indian crowd.
Hoping Kantaphon and J.C will keep improving and Shi Yu Qi will come back soon enough to challenge MMT. AA is hopeless in his attack, his rallies is not better than MMT also.
KM is, first, not giving AA too many attacking opportunities, and, second, anticipating his smashes when lifting and clearing. Well done.
Not good for Antonsen. When he beat Momota back in Indonesia, Antonsen was patient. He lost his patience this game. Let's see if Antonsen can turn things around in the 2nd set.
