Indian badminton ace P V Sindhu believes she would be in top form at the BWF's World Tour Final as a recent break gave her the time to be well-prepared for the season-ending tournament starting December 12.
Olympic silver medallist Sindhu, who finished runners-up at the last edition of the event in Dubai, skipped last week's Syed Modi International in Lucknow to focus on the USD 1,500,000 event to be held at Guangzhou.
It is the third time that the Indian ace qualified for the prestigious event and asked if she would be in better form this time, Sindhu said: "Ya, because I have enough time to prepare this time.
"I hope I do well in this tournament. I am confident of giving my best. It is one of the biggest tournaments with all the top players and it will be tough but I really want to win it."
Talking about the final losses that were difficult to digest, Sindhu said: "I played five finals and lost and those were tough to take but I am happy with the Asian Games results. I mean, overall some good results and some upsets in the finals."
"Sometime it does upset you when you lose in the finals, or even in a quarterfinal or semifinal, especially when you think may be I could have played better or even if you gave your 100 percent and even then you lose."
So who were the players she found difficult to beat this year?
