[Saba Sports News] The badminton draw results for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games have been released. With the completion of the grouping, each team has started more targeted preparations. After reviewing the women’s singles grouping, Indian coach Pullela Gopichand openly stated that Pusarla Venkata Sindhu will easily defeat He Bingjiao. Gopichand expressed great confidence in Sindhu’s current form and physical fitness, believing that she can defeat He Bingjiao. Therefore, Gopichand considers Chen Yufei as Sindhu’s strongest opponent. From the Indian coach’s comments, it is evident that he underestimates He Bingjiao’s abilities and only regards Chen Yufei as a formidable adversary for Sindhu. In response to this, some fans pointed out that although Sindhu, the former world No. 1, may have been stronger than He Bingjiao at her peak, Sindhu has been plagued by injuries, resulting in slower footwork and a decline in the quality of her shots. On the other hand, He Bingjiao has been working on improving her weaknesses in recent years and has adopted a less reckless playing style. If the two were to compete, He Bingjiao would not be at a disadvantage.
