Focus on Sindhu's positioning & movement on court: Sridhar

SINCE the beginning of the month, Anup Sridhar has helped put the basics in place for PV Sindhu's comeback to the circuit after a below-par Paris Games.

After Sindhu's camp approached Sridhar post the Olympics last month, Sridhar flew out to Hyderabad.

Almost a month later, the 41year-old has 'a fair understanding of what works best for her'.

"I met with Sindhu and her team (after the Olympics)," he tells this daily from his current base at the Gachibowli Stadium. "I initially wanted to understand just where she's at, how she's feeling physically and all of that. She's feeling very fit, she doesn't have any pain and no knee issues. She also spoke about how fiercely motivated she is to make it work. It's very impressive to see somebody who has achieved so much still has so much hunger and drive."
