New Delhi, Her confidence renewed, two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu will chase history as India’s established stars and emerging talents look to capitalise on home advantage when the BWF World Championships return to the country after 17 years, with the prestigious tournament beginning here on Monday.
Sindhu is high on confidence coming into the tournament after winning the Japan Open Super 750 last month to become the first Indian to win the prestigious title. A semifinal appearance would assure Sindhu of at least a bronze and take her past the five-medal mark, making her the first player in the history of the championships to win six medals. “I’m looking forward to the World Championships and since it’s happening in India, I’m really excited. Hoping I keep my confidence going from winning the Japan Open and do well here. The tournament is also important for India away from the courts.
Looking ahead to get lot of support from the Indian crowd and hope I get a medal here,” a confident Sindhu said.
