Sindhu, Lakshya and even Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty, are coming back from a break.
Sindhu will return to action at home after a tepid 2024. She took a long break after Paris Olympics before returning to the circuit at the end of the year. She got married in December and is now focused on a strong return. “This will be my first tournament after marriage and also of the new year. So everything is new and I want to give my best in the competition in front of home fans. After the Paris Olympics I wanted some time to recover physically and emotionally and the break has helped me,” she said.
Sindhu will start her campaign against compatriot Anupama Upadhyaya. Japanese sixth seed Tomoka Miyazaki is likely to be her opponent in the second round. India will have 22 entries in the event.
