It was at the last edition of the YONEX French Open that Pusarla V Sindhu retired in her second round match. What was thought to be a minor niggle in her left knee led to a prolonged break, with her returning to action after three months, at the Badminton Asia Team Championships where she led India to gold.
At the YONEX French Open 2024 today, in only her second tournament back from the layoff, the Indian made an impressive comeback from a grim position against Michelle Li in the standout contest of the event so far.
With Li leading 22-20 14-7, Pusarla turned it around, edging the Canadian by the tightest of margins, 20-22 22-20 21-19.
