Sindhu and Co. look to make amends at French Open

Rio Olympics silver medallist P.V. Sindhu will look to shrug off the disappointment of last week’s second round exit at the Denmark Open and eye her maiden Super Series women’s singles title at the French Open this week.

The sixth seed, who lost to Japan’s Sayaka Sato in second round at Odense, opens her campaign against Hong Kong’s Yip Pui Yin at Stade Pierre de Coubertin.

In the next round, she is likely to take on China’s He Bingjiao.

In the men’s singles, Dutch Open finalist Ajay Jayaram faces a qualifier in the opening round, while Swiss Open champion H.S. Prannoy squares up against Boonsak Ponsana of Thailand.

Canada Open winner B. Sai Praneeth meets Korea’s Lee Hyun Il in another singles match.

In men’s doubles, Rio Olympians Manu Attri and B. Sumeeth Reddy have withdrawn.
