P. V. Sindhu (Badminton)
In a positive development, two-time Olympic medallist Sindhu regained her mojo with the Singapore Open Super 500 women's singles title just ahead of the Commonwealth Games. Since winning the Swiss Open Super 300 in March, she had not made it to a single final. Sindhu, in fact, failed to progress beyond the quarterfinals in recent World Tour events in Malaysia and Indonesia. Now, as she is back in form, and with her ability to lift her game in prestigious tournaments, she will be the favourite to win the CWG gold. The World No. 7 finished runner-up to Saina Nehwal in the 201■ CWG.
