Sindhu and Srikanth qualified for the World Super Series Finals

Sindhu and Srikanth qualified for the biggest World Superseries Finals with the prize money of USD 1,000,000 in Dubai to be held from December 13-17, which is the year-end-finale for top eight shuttlers around the world.

Sindhu continued her stride this year, winning two Super Series titles and a Grand Prix Gold event. She also lifted her third World Championship medal, earning a silver after an epic 110-minute final against Nozomi Okuhara. The results took her to as high as world no 2, the same rank Srikanth had achieved after his wins. Srikanth, besides reaching five superseries finals, won four Super Series titles this year – Indonesia, Australia, Denmark and France.

However, the pair dropped in the rankings; Sindhu down to 3rd and Srikanth to 5th as he skipped two super series events, China Open and Hong Kong Open due to injury.

World no. 7 Nozomi Okuhara, unfortunately pulled out of the World Superseries Finals as she is suffering from knee injury, as she injured during Japan Open Super Series in September.
