Preparation for This Year Will Have to be Smart: Ashwini Ponnappa Ahead of Hectic 2022

News 18  

With a dazzling celluloid smile that could have set ablaze the big screen, Ashwini Ponnappa could have put any of the top Bollywood actors to shame. A household name in the country, Ashwini has done India proud by winning two gold medals, two silver and one bronze in Commonwealth games, four gold medals in SAR games, bronze medals in world championship, Uber Cup, one bronze each in Asian Championship and Asian Games. Overall, even though we’ve got some good coaches helping us train, there’s still definitely a need for a doubles coach who will take charge of the doubles sessions. I would say a specific women’s doubles program would help improve and produce more women’s doubles pairs. Definitely would be working on getting fitter as a pair on on court, since women’s doubles matches tend to be really long.
