In order to fully recuperate from a foot ailment she suffered prior to the European leg, two-time Olympic medallist P V Sindhu has chosen to skip all of the 2025 BWF Tour events. According to the 30-year-old Hyderabadi shuttler, the choice was made following extensive discussion with her support network and medical professionals, including famed sports orthopaedist Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala.
"After consulting closely with my team and with the guidance of the incredible Dr Pardiwala, we felt it was best for me to withdraw from all remaining BWF Tour events in 2025," Sindhu said in a statement issued on Monday.

"Although it is never easy to accept, injuries are an unavoidable part of every athlete's career, and my foot ailment from before the European leg has not totally healed. They put your patience and forbearance to the test, but they also give you the motivation to bounce back stronger." The 2019 world champion Sindhu stated that her training and recuperation were already under way, overseen by Dr. Wayne Lombard, with assistance from Chetna, Nisha Rawat, and her coach Irwansyah Adi Pratama.
I am surrounded by a team that gives me strength every single day, thanks to the unwavering care of Dr. Wayne Lombard, the encouragement of Nisha Rawat and Chetna, and the direction of my coach Irwansyah.

"Their belief in me fuels my own, and I feel motivated, grateful, and hungrier than ever for what lies ahead." The Commonwealth Games winner has been dealing with form issues and injuries for a while.
Sindhu's season has been far from perfect since his early exit at the Paris Games. He has lost several times in the first and second rounds, with his quarterfinal appearances at the World Championships, China Masters Super 750, and India Open Super 750 serving as the season's high point.
She finished second at the Malaysia Masters last year, just short of taking home a top-tier title.
But last December, she won the Syed Modi International Super 300.
