However, one has to be fair as well. Sindhu received the drift assistance in the first game. When the sides were changed in the second, she could not bring that dominant factor.
Wang looked superior in the third game. She knew it was matter of make or break. Her objective was to force the game into a decider, and there was a spring in her step as well. She took a 3-0 lead initially and that was quickly converted into a 6-1 lead.

They were not giving one another any inch, but as the game progressed, Sindhu gained control. She took a 11-6 lead and her smashes worked beautifully, which was targeted at Wang’s body. The Chinese shuttler did not have any room to swing, hence helping Sindhu take some important points and some points later, the title as well.
