Defending champion PV Sindhu will look to bounce back after hitting a low at Thailand but in-form HS Prannoy will be brimming with confidence as the duo spearheads Indian challenge at the Singapore Open Super 750 tournament starting here on Tuesday.


Things have not been the same for Sindhu since she suffered that ankle injury in August last year. However, a first-round exit at Thailand Open following a narrow loss to Canada’s Michell Li is not the right way to approach a tournament, which remains her last BWF world tour title.And to make matters worse, Sindhu will be facing Japan’s world No. 1 Akane Yamaguchi.


Prannoy, on the other hand, is coming into the tournament after ending a six-year title drought, claiming his maiden BWF crown at the Malaysia Masters.
