O No, Sindhu out again this time to Akane Yamaguchi. With that India quit Arena Birmingham hosting All England Badminton. Night sleep went phut. When will Sindhu win a World Cup, an Olympic gold or All England. Superseries she has won but thats not the same. Her backhand looks a bit soft, her smashes rare and court coverage a tad slow. Worse, she looks beaten. Experts know better. They say its a Golden Era. Is it, going by the trophies in the bag? Prakash Padukone became World No. 1 in 1980 after winning the All England. Pullela Gopichand became the All England champion in 2001. A few Superseries. Thats it. Nothing has happened since. Saina Nehwal won an Olympic bronze in 2012 when China's Wang Xin retired hurt and if me am not wrong the Chinese was leading one set (saw the match on TV). At Rio, Sindhu earned silver. No Gold yet. Yet, this is the golden era, write experts and me concedes they know. Pullela Gopichand set up his Academy in 2008 and has coached and placed Nehwal, Sindhu, Kidambi, Pranoy on the world badminton courts. None has won the prized gold, though superseries have been grabbed. Its now about 10 years and Pullela has or should have parted with all he knows. Has he anything more to offer to say Sindhu or Kidambi? Should not these two players search out an European or South East Asian coach? Should not Pullela help the search process? For me Sindhu is a big hope. She is 22. She can make it. She needs a counsellor; not flay around the racket, drop her shoulders or wince over a point lost. One badminton expert (forget the name) has done an analytics piece on Sindhu and her mental grit. If we have to win the Olympics Gold in Tokyo 2020, Sindhu and Kidambi need a foreign coach. Nehwal is over. Pullela can and need to work on fresh names letting go Sindhu and Kidambi. Pullela Gopichand, a big Thank You. But your time is up. Indian badminton wants Sindhu and Kidambi to win Golds in Tokyo 2020. A change please, no offence meant.
