Cometh the moment, cometh the woman!

Despite Tzu Ying having the better head to head record, she has lost to Sindhu when it mattered the most, such as the Round of 16 in the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2019 World Championships. The World number 1, despite holding on to the rank for a record 148 weeks, has not won a World Championship title or gone past the Quarter-Finals in the Olympics. Sindhu, meanwhile, has proven herself to be a big game player and ups the ante when the stakes are higher.
