'Dragon Slayer' nice!

Sindhu is at a career best ranking of #19, her first foray into the teens, after last week's final at Syed Modi GPG....

Sindhu climbs to WR #17 on the latest world badminton ranking.

Sindhu rises to her personal best ranking, #15, and definitely going to move ahead after reaching quarters in Indian Super series.

Sindhu climbs to her personal best WR #13 ranking after last week's semi-finalist at Indian Super series ... This week also she is in the final of Malaysian Gold GP tournament where last year she was semi-finalist ... This performance will help her to reduce points margin between herself and #12 Porntip Buranaprasertsuk.

Excellent work by Sindhu win her first grand prix gold title this week in Malaysia. We should have 2 women players in top 10 soon.

In response to Suresh's question in the other (tournament) thread, I presume Sindhu is on course to be a world #1 in 4-5 years time. Currently, she is only 17 (will turn 18 on July 5th this year), and to make it to top-10 in the world in another few weeks will be a stupendous achievement.

The most exciting prospect is the Rio Olympics, when the Chinese contingent will have to be wary of not just one but two Indian women competitors! Delicious thought!!

Shuttler PV Sindhu signs up with Tendulkar's firm

Being touted as India’s next badminton sensation after Saina Nehwal, young P.V Sindhu has signed a contract with management company Universal Collectabillia, which is co-owned by master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

"We will be managing her till next Olympics. She is a bright prospect and had just started winning titles," Chamundeswarnath was quoted as saying in a report.
Interestingly, Chamundeswarnath along with his friends gave Rs 5 lakh reward to Sindhu for winning the Malaysian event.

Chief National Coach Pullela Gopichand, who is her mentor is happy for his ward and feels Sindhu is lucky to be managed by such a big firm.
"Getting support from such a popular firm will help her a lot. She is very lucky to get this sort of support early in her career," a report quoted Gopichand as saying.

World no#1 would be a argumentative one...because there are other players like ratchanok who is only 4 to 5 months older has actually owned Sindhu in Indian open.And there are others like Tai Tzu ying and Sayaka Takahashi from Japan....All these girls with Sun Yu of China would be the main competition for her of her age..

In latest ranking updates, Sindhu climbs to her personal best WR #11.

[PKBasu]

Really exciting to have a 17-year-old Indian who is the world's 11th-best in her sport -- especially when we have another Indian ranked in the top-3 or so in the world in the same sport!!
