PV Sindhu and
HS Prannoy are set to lead India's charge at the
Malaysia Masters Super 500 tournament, commencing Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur. After a disappointing outing at the
Sudirman Cup, where they lost to Indonesia and Denmark, both players are eager to regain their form.
Sindhu, a
two-time Olympic medallist currently ranked
16th in the world, will face
Natsuki Nidaira of Japan, ranked
20th. Meanwhile, Prannoy, who has dropped to
35th, will take on
Kenta Nishimoto, the fifth seed from Japan. The tournament offers a prize pool of
USD 475,000, and both shuttlers are looking to capitalize on their two-week break to find their rhythm at the
Axiata Arena.
Sindhu recently reflected on her journey, stating, "
The world sees the medal, but they do not see the 4 AM alarms, the tears, the losses, and the days you show up when you do not want to." She emphasized the importance of resilience in sports, saying, "
In sport, sometimes you do not just show up after failure -- sometimes you show up while literally breaking. And that is where champions are built."
As they prepare for the tournament, both players are determined to turn their fortunes around and make a strong impact in Kuala Lumpur.
