With the tag of the eternal bridesmaid hovering over her head, Indian badminton star PV Sindhu will head into the Istora GBK Sports Complex here today to face Taiwan's World No. 1 Tai Tzu Ying in the women's singles gold medal match. In the semi-finals yesterday, Tzu Ying beat India's Saina Nehwal 21-17, 21-14, while Sindhu got the better of Japan's Akane Yamaguchi, 21-17, 15-21, 21-10.

A drop in concentration saw Sindhu stretched to three games for the third time in four matches in this competition. However, this time, the 69-minute stretch could prove costly, considering Tzu Ying had a breezy 37-minute outing against Saina.
