I've been working on my aggression and technique, says Sindhu after winning start at Tokyo Olympics

India TV News  

Indian badminton ace P V Sindhu on Sunday said she has worked on her aggression in the past five years and promised a very "different" version of herself after making a winning start at the ongoing Olympics. Five years back, Sindhu was not considered a medal prospect but she stunned the world with her stellar run which ended with an unprecedented silver medal on her Olympic debut in Rio de Janeiro. Coming to 2020 is completely different; back then there were no expectations," the reigning world champion said after making a winning start to her campaign on Sunday with a straight-game win over Israel's Ksenia Polikarpova. The soft-spoken Indian ace was not known for her aggression till five years back and it was chief national coach Pullela Gopichand, who had transformed her into an aggressive player ahead of the Rio Games.
