Tokyo Olympics 2020: PV Sindhu has improved on her defence, worked on motion skills, says India coach Park Tae-sang

Firstpost  

Park also addded that Tai Tzu-ying would be Sindhu’s biggest rival at the Olympics. New Delhi: A weak defence was the reason behind PV Sindhu’s slip in performance early in the year and the COVID-induced break has helped her address the flaw and also work on her motion skills ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, said India’s foreign coach Park Tae-sang. The 42-year-old, who was roped in for India’s men’s singles players in 2019, has been training Sindhu following the departure of fellow Korean coach Kim Ji Hyun after the Basel World Championship two years ago. Her endurance on the court is also good.” With Marin pulling out of the Games due to a knee injury, Park has no doubt that Tai Tzu would be Sindhu’s biggest rival at the Olympics. “A lot of time is also spent watching old videos of the players and analysing their games.” Park is also aware of the problems that the Chinese duo of Chen Yu Fei and He Bing Jiao can pose to Sindhu, especially since they haven’t played since the 2020 All England Championship.
