I think Sindhu definitely has a chance,” said National head coach Pullela Gopichand. “She looks good in her training and the best part is that she is able to close the matches that she used to lose earlier.” After a potential clash with Wang, Sindhu can face Wardani of Indonesia who has been her nemesis of sorts in recent times. At the 2025 edition, Sindhu defeated Wang but lost to Putri in the quarterfinals. The Indian duo was unseeded because of injury layoff is expected to produce one or two upsets that can put them in the medal contention.
