She defeated Tai Tzu Young in 2019 from Taipei. But since then, the former has strived hard to reign over the latter. On being asked about her weakness against left-handed players, she replied confidently.
“It's nothing like I'm not able to crack them. It's very important that each match matters. It just depends on that particular day. Each player has a different style of play, different stroke play. You must strategise accordingly because as I mentioned it just depends on that particular day. There were a lot of matches where seeded players lose in the first round, so it also depends on the court conditions,” Sindhu answered.
Sindhu added that the mantra for her success is her fitness. She said that she worked hard for it and is now paying her the benefits. “It's very important to stay physically fit I would say, as an athlete that's what we train for and we need to be injury-free," she said,” Sindhu added.
An athlete of a generation, a shuttler that emerges not often, PV Sindhu has been a star for India. She is a rare piece of ornament that powers the Indian sports to conquer the unrivalled.
