PV Sindhu said – this will not make her way to win the medal easy, every player in the top-10 is strong
Rio Olympic silver medalist PV Sindhu feels that despite Carolina Marin's withdrawal from the Tokyo Games, she is not finding her way to a medal easy. In the final of 2016 Rio Olympics, Sindhu was defeated by Marin. At the same time, Sindhu had to face defeat at the hands of Marin in the final of the Swiss Open recently.
Marin announced on Tuesday that she would miss the Tokyo Olympics due to a left knee injury. He is to undergo knee surgery later this week. The Tokyo Olympics will be held from July 23 to August 8. Due to Corona, it was postponed till 2021 last year.
Sindhu said – Marin has of course pulled out of the tournament, but all the players in the top 10 are very good. Everyone's level is almost the same. In such a situation, even after Marin's withdrawal, she does not consider the tournament easy. Sindhu said that all the players coming to the Olympics are working hard. However, many tournaments were canceled due to Corona. Due to this many players of India could not qualify.
Saina and Srikanth have suffered a setback as the Malaysia and Singapore Opens were postponed. If the ranking does not change, then only Sindhu, Praneeth will get Olympic quota in singles and Rankireddy-Chirag pair in doubles.
The Badminton World Federation (BWF) canceled the Singapore Open due to Corona. It was the final tournament of Olympic qualifying. With this, Saina Nehwal's hopes of playing in the Tokyo Olympics ended. This will be the first time since 2008 that Nehwal will not be able to play in the Olympics. Along with Nehwal, Kidambi Srikanth's dream of getting the game also ended.
