PV Sindhu's loss at Denmark Open not a cause of worry, says Aparna Popat

"I wouldn't make much of the results that happened in Denmark. It is a new Olympic cycle and most of the players will be easing themselves into competitions once again. I think it is alright as long as they are getting match time. I watched Sindhu's match and I would not read too much into her performance. It was fine and not much to be concerned about. Her movements were pretty good inside the court," she told Olympics.com.

"Sindhu, when she is playing at her best, is extremely difficult to beat. And in this tournament, she is just getting back into matches after the Olympics. You do not really require to be at your best. In spite of that, she played pretty well. Although this is her second defeat to the girl, I don't think it will be much of a problem for her in the future. She focuses on certain tournaments and the ones she is serious about, she gets the results. That's all you need," she opined.
