She has proved that she can play well in various venues and it is good to see her progress. Sindhu played a good level in Rio and she has played one more level here.

Having missed a few Super Series events at the start of the year as she was recovering from injury, Sindhu might not be able to accumulate enough points to qualify for the prestigious event.
