‘I Hope To Keep The Same Confidence’: Sindhu Carries Japan Open Boost Into BWF Worlds At Home
BWF World Championships: PV Sindhu will enter the BWF World Championships 2026 in New Delhi on Monday with the confidence of a Japan Open title behind her and the added motivation of competing in front of a home crowd, as the former world champion looks to end a seven-year wait for another World Championships medal.
The 2019 champion, who has a record-equalling five World Championships medals to her name, said her triumph in Japan had provided an important lift ahead of the tournament, which is being staged in India.
"It definitely gives me a lot of confidence, and of course I'm really looking forward to the World Championships starting. Since it's happening in India, it's really exciting. And to answer Sudhir's question, winning the Japan Open gave me a real boost of confidence,” the ace shuttler said in the pre-match press conference at the Indira Gandhi Stadium on Sunday.
