Sindhu shared her enthusiasm with her fans on social media. “Let’s go. Smile a little, Coach,” Sindhu wrote on her Instagram handle.

Unseeded Sindhu will be playing her first match against South Korea’s world No 22 ranked player Ga Eun Kim.

Apart from Sindhu, Malvika Bansod will feature in the women’s singles draw. Both are unseeded and will face higher-ranked opponents early on in the tournament.

Early this year, Sindhu got Indonesian coach Irwanshyah Adi Pratama on board his coaching staff. Pratama is known for working with top singles players like Jonatan Christie and Anthony Ginting.
