Chennai: India's Olympic silver medallist shuttller P V Sindhu today said she was focussed on doing well in the forthcoming World Championship in Glasgow and was working hard with her coaches to be in her best form during the prestigious tournament.
"It (World Championship next month) is a big event. I am looking forward to it and working hard for the tournament. It is not going to be easy, I have to be at my best," Sindhu said.
The Indian, currently ranked 5th in the world, has previously won bronze medals at the Championship in 2013 and 2014.
Having stolen the thunder from Saina Nehwal following her exploits in the Rio Games, Sindhu has since won two Super Series titles (Indian Open and China Open) but is aware that the achievements come with a bigger responsibility.
"Of course, life has changed after Rio. Winning a silver medal was a huge moment for me. It has come with a lot of responsibilities. I am expected to win (more) these days. I have to work hard and keep doing well in the tournaments ahead," she told PTI.
"I am lucky to have got to work with a coach like Gopi Sir (P Gopichand). I have been associated with him for several years. Me and the other players have to be thankful to him, for his guidance.
