Pullela Gopichand made headlines in 2001 when he beat then World No. 1 Peter Gade 17-14, 17-15 to enter the final of the All England Open badminton championships. After 16 years, the two will face each other on court as a part of the Legends Vision Yonex World Tour in Mumbai on November 4. Gopichand, who went on to win the title the same year, defeating Chen Hong of China 15-12, 15-6, said when he faces Gade at the India debut of the tour at NSCI Dome, Worli, he doesn't intend to beat him.
