In the women’s singles section, only double Olympic medallist PV Sindhu is ranked within the top 25 of the ‘Race to Paris’ rankings, and currently occupies the 11th position with 57,388. The next Indian in the race is Aakarshi Kashyap who sits on the 40th place.
Though Sindhu is well within reach of a Paris quota, she is expected to be out of action until the start of February due to a knee injury sustained in October 2023 during the French Open.
However, a positive for the ace shuttler is that she will have the opportunity to maintain her ranking in the top 16 in Race to Paris when she makes her comeback in the Badminton Asia Championships in mid-February as following the injury, the BWF granted a protected ranking, locking in her at the world number 10 spot. She is now with a new coach, Indonesia’s Agus Dwi Santoso, after parting ways with another Indonesian Muhammad Hafiz Hashim.
