Her father stated that it is unlikely for Sindhu to keep training in Bangalore, but the future is unpredictable. He mentioned that training has commenced in Hyderabad as the camps have not yet begun.
Sindhu, who claimed Olympic silver in 2016 and bronze in 2021, came back from her initial Games empty-handed, losing to eventual silver medalist He Bingjiao in the pre-quarters in Paris.
Anup Sridhar, a former Olympian and tall player, who briefly coached Lakshya Sen, will join Sindhu on a trial basis for the European swing – Arctic Open and Denmark Open (October 15-20).
