So hoping for as many medals as we can."</p>.<p>The final was a tricky affair as Sindhu recovered from a mid-game slump to outwit China's Wang Zhi Yi.</p>.<p>"It was a good match. After winning the first game, I gave away continuous points from the beginning in the second, so it was really difficult to catch up. But in the third game, it was 9-11 and it was a crucial phase, where I had to maintain the lead," she said.</p>.<p>Talking about her opponent, Sindhu said: "She played well. I am playing her for the second time. I was not hoping that it will be easy, I knew it will be a long match, long rallies."</p>
