‘My task is cut out’: Sindhu

Hyderabad, Aug 13:
P V Sindhu has arrived with a bang.  And it is showing.
In an interaction with the media at the Pullela Gopichand Badminton Academy in Gachibowli here today, Sindhu seemed a confident-looking teenager, who is mentally poised to take on  the big and ruthless world of badminton, and make a mark of her own.
”I do understand that the expectations of the nation on me have increased manifold. In a way, the task is cut out and I have to take on the challenges in their totality. It is because of this that I have to rework on my game, fine-tune result-oriented strategies and unleash strokes that would help conquer the more formidable opponents. Improvisation and greater level of consistency will be the new buzzwords for me,” said Sindhu, her faintly audible voice denoting that she remains the demure girl-next-door, the new-found success notwithstanding.
Gracious even in her loss, Sindhu paid rich tributes to her semi-final conqueror, Thai teenager, Ratchanok Inthanon.
”She played a great game and I lost to a better opponent. I  am happy that she achieved history for Thailand by winning the singles title,” was her salutation. (UNI)
