Danish badminton great Tine Baun says that despite P.V. Sindhu’s successful outing at the World Championships last week, she still has some way to go.
Having beaten Sindhu in their only match at the Malaysia Open Super Series in January, the retired Dane believes that Sindhu still needs to fine tune her game, despite getting into the top 10 of the world rankings Thursday, whereas Saina Nehwal is already among the top players.“Both Saina and Sindhu are very aggressive players like me (smiles). Sindhu’s height helps her in attacking, but overall Saina is very good. Don’t forget, Sindhu is young and is still learning,” the former World No.1 said.
“When Sindhu loses a few points here and there, she gets defensive. She has age on her side and she is coming along on the right lines. One has to give it to Saina for doing so well. She gives her 100 percent every time she steps on the court. Moreover, she has been in the top-five for many years and to sustain for so long is very tough considering the high level of competition,” said the three-time All-England Open champion.
