Saina Nehwal, a retired badminton player, recently spoke highly of her fellow athlete PV Sindhu, highlighting her height as a key advantage in their shared attacking styles. Nehwal noted that Sindhu's physical fitness remains impressive, expressing hope that she continues to perform at a high level. Reflecting on the upcoming changes in the ranking points system, which will adopt a 15x3 format, Nehwal believes this could benefit players in their competitive pursuits. She emphasized that both players share a strong 'never-give-up' attitude, which has been crucial to their success in badminton. Sindhu, a two-time Olympic medalist, recently competed at the Thailand Open but was eliminated in the quarterfinals by Akane Yamaguchi. Following this tournament, she withdrew from the Malaysia Masters 2026, where she has previously won titles in 2013 and 2016. Nehwal's insights underscore the potential for Sindhu to maintain her competitive edge in the sport as she navigates these changes.
