Fresh and raring to go after a long injury layoff, two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu is looking to “make the most of the home advantage” at the India Open Super 750, beginning in New Delhi on Tuesday. After battling poor form and a foot injury through much of 2025, Sindhu is keen to turn things around as a fresh season begins.

‘Goal is to remain injury free’

“I started with the Malaysian Open last week and I felt good. I was moving around well and felt like myself after the long injury layoff. It boosted my confidence,” said Sindhu, who had a semi-final finish in Malaysia. “We have a tight schedule this year, with the World Championships at home and the Asian Games. It is important to pick and choose tournaments well and my goal is to remain injury-free and give my 100 per cent on the court,” she added.
