PV Sindhu, Kidambi Srikanth Restart Quest For 1st Title Of Season In Pre-Olympic Year

PV Sindhu and Kidambi Srikanth will look for consistency in their quest for the season's maiden title when they begin their campaign at the Korea Open, which lost a bit of sheen following the withdrawal of some key players, including Lakshya Sen.

She has not been able to string together a series of wins in a week after returning from a five-month long injury lay-off following a stress fracture on her ankle. The two-time Olympic medallist had reached the final of the Madrid Spain Masters, her best finish this season. She showed sparks when she reached the semifinals of Canada Open but made a quarterfinal exit in the next event after going down to China's Gao Fang Jie in the US Open.
