Update: 2018-06-05 16:18 IST

What doesn't come as a surprise to badminton champions P.V Sindhu and Saina Nehwal's friends and fellow players is the decision their coach P. Gopichand has taken. The ace badminton coach has two training centers within less than a kilometre distance from each other, and will be training the champions separately, hereafter. 

Many connected to the academy and the players say this wasn't a surprise to them, since they have been observing a rift between the players. Nehwal has been training with Vimal Kumar for the last three years, and has come back to P. Gopichand's academy after winning the world no.1 championship. 

The coach and players' families seem to be unfazed with the development. P. Gopichand has stated both the trainees have been doing well and he is happy with the progress. P. V Sindhu's father expressed the same sentiment.
