It felt like a practice match, but I didn't want to take it easy. I took the lead and wanted to get used to the court for a while. I gave away a few points and we had some rallies. Ultimately, it was a comfortable win for me,\" Sindhu told JioCinema.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 29-year-old will take on Estonia's Kristin Kuuba in her next clash on Wednesday. The experienced shuttler said making a comeback after an injury was physically and mentally challenging for her.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"It's quite challenging, both physically and mentally. It was crucial for me to stay positive and prepare myself physically, especially since I was injured at the beginning of the year. I gradually started my recovery in February. Injuries can leave you feeling uncertain and mentally unbalanced, but my support staff and the people around me kept me motivated. I'm grateful to Prakash Sir, Agus (Agus Dwi Santoso), my entire support staff, and my parents for their support,\" she said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 29-year-old will take on Estonia's Kristin Kuuba in her next clash on Wednesday.
