Since winning the World Championship title in August, Sindhu has not made it to the last eight in any tournament other than the French Open. Gopichand said that Sindhu has faced a difficult situation in the last few matches, but I am sure she will return. I think her schedule is very busy after the World Series. He said that she played in Denmark and France after playing in China and Korea and again came to China and played in Hong Kong. So I think the last two months have been tough for her.

Gopichand, however, said that Sindhu will make a strong comeback. He said that many players from all over the world are facing difficulty in this and there are many players who are not able to perform well in these tournaments due to busy schedule and I am sure she will return.

Gopichand also said that India's preparations for the Tokyo Olympics 2020 are going in the right direction. Gopichand and Sindhu are among the players who will be honored during the day-night Test starting between India and Bangladesh from Friday.
