Top shuttlers from around the world will battle it out in the prestigious BWF World Super Series Final, which is expected to be a cracking contest in Dubai. Among all the competitions, the women's singles will be hotly contested as all the eight participants have a huge chance of winning the title. India will look forward to the performance of PV Sindhu in the BWF Super Series Final.
PV Sindhu has been pitted in a tricky group, which includes Carolina Marin, Sun Yu and Akane Yamaguchi. Looking at Sindhu's form of late, the Indian shuttler will be one of the strongest contenders for the title. She comes into this BWF Super Series Final with a huge win in the China Open and a runners-up finish in the Hong Kong Open.
With the competition starting with the group stages, all the players will hope for a winning start in their respective matches. Only two players from each group make it to the semifinals of the competition, making it even more interesting.
Sindhu faces Yamaguchi in her opening encounter, and a win against the Japanese will give her further confidence to take on China's Sun Yu, who is another star player in the group.
These two matches are going to be of utmost importance as back-to-back victories will put her in a good position to top the group. But all eyes will be on her last match in the group stages, against Carolina Marin, who defeated her in a thrilling Rio Olympics final to clinch gold.
SIndhu has all the shots in her armoury to go all the way in BWF Super Series Final, but she has to be consistent in her game. If she can bring her Rio Olympics form, where she defeated top shuttlers, anything is possible in Dubai.
