By IANS News August 26, 2025 • 19:36 PM View: 307

BWF World Championships: Former champion PV Sindhu began her campaign at the BWF World Championships 2025 with a confident Round-of-64 victory over Bulgaria’s Kaloyana Nalbantova, 23-21, 21-6 in just 39 minutes here on Tuesday.

Two-time Olympic medallist Sindhu, who is one of the few players in the history of the sport to have won a full set of medals in the World Championships with one gold, two silver, and two bronze medals, is India's biggest hope for a title in Paris.

Playing at the Adidas Arena, which hosted the 2024 Summer Olympics, the 30-year-old Sindhu started well and quelled her opponent with confident play.
