Double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu says she can’t single out one opponent as her toughest in the international circuit as all are of the same standard and one has to be always alert irrespective of the world ranking of the player.

“I feel nobody is tough and at the same time, anybody is beatable,” she said during an interaction at the ongoing Goa Fest 2022 on Friday.

“Right now everybody is of the same standard. You can’t think that a higher ranking player will be hard or not beatable and at the same time when you are playing with a lower-ranked player, you can’t expect that it is going to be an easy win.

“So you have to give your 100 per cent, no matter what. I can’t say that one person is my toughest opponent and she is unbeatable because everybody is beatable.”

Recalling the times when everything was shut due to the Covid-19 pandemic ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, Sindhu said that those were “a bit of hard times”. “Because of the pandemic it had to get postponed. It was just couple of months away. It was a bit sad. We were waiting for this for four years,” she said.

She said that even after going to the Olympics it was hard because the players were being tested every day. “Imagine you have come to the semi-final and you test positive. That would have been the worst,” she said.
