Spanish Masters: Can Sindhu make a turnaround?

The Hindu  

Ahead of what is her fifth competition of the year -- the Spanish Masters in Madrid -- P V Sindhu would readily admit this has been a season like no other in her career. It was only last week at the Swiss Open, in what was Sindhu’s fourth World Tour competition of the year, that she got her first win of 2023. At the Badminton Asia Mixed Team Championships, Sindhu suffered a 9-21, 21-16, 18-21 loss to Gao Fang Jie of China, ranked 63 in the world. Despite her recent poor form, as a former world champion and two-time Olympic medallist, Sindhu enters her maiden Spanish Masters as a favourite along with local heavyweight Carolina Marin, the former Olympic champion.
