P Gopi: The Friend, the Opponent, the Legend - Arré

We finally got a chance to team up at the Sudirman Cup & World Championships in Scotland in 1997. By then I’d warmed up to the guy. He was aggressive and arrogant but had the goods to back it up. One day, as we stood watching Dong Jiong (the then World #1) play, I asked Gopi if Dong would win this championship. Gopi looked me in the eye and said in his most calm, unexcitable voice, “I will win”. Unlike most of us, Gopi didn’t suffer from the paralysing feeling of inadequacy that most Indian players face on the world stage.
