Sindhu serves up brilliant second act with career reboot
KUALA LUMPUR: As her powers began to decline, 2019 world champion P. V. Sindhu has started reinventing herself in a bid to become a force again on the World Tour.
KUALA LUMPUR: Former world champion P.V. Sindhu, 31, is experiencing a career resurgence after reinventing herself to combat the decline of her powers. She enlisted the help of a former Indonesian singles coach, Irwansyah, in January, and later, South African conditioning expert Wayne Lombard. Sindhu's physical sharpness and injury-free status have improved due to data-driven tracking methods, specific nutritional plans, and optimized sleep cycles.
These changes culminated in her victory at the Japan Open, which ended her two-year title drought, and a runner-up finish at the French Open. Sindhu expressed her happiness at seeing her hard work pay off and credited her entire team for their support. The Indian shuttler's transformation from a powerful baseliner to a more tactical player is credited to Irwansyah's expertise, who has previously coached world-class players like Jonatan Christie and Anthony Ginting.
