London Olympics bronze medallistSaina Nehwal will lead India's charge in the Macau Open Grand Prix Gold badminton
tournament which begins here on Tuesday Nov 29,2016 after three-time champion P V
Sindhu pulled out of the event to prepare herself for the Dubai Super
Series Finals.
The 2016 Rio Olympics in Brazil silver medallist, Sindhu, who is
the defending champion (won the match beating Canada’s Michelle Li 21-15 21-12 in merely 37 minutes), was originally scheduled to take on China's
Yue Han in the opening match of the tournament on Wednesday Nov 30,2016
But P V Sindhu, seeded second, has withdrawn from the USD 120,000 event at the last moment keeping in mind the Dubai Super Series Finals as she wanted to be fresh after playing back-to-back tournaments -- China Open and Hong Kong Open.
"She had originally planned to play at Macau Open but after she qualified for Dubai Super Series Finals, we have decided to skip the event as otherwise she will get not enough time to prepare for the Dubai event," Sindhu's father P V Ramana told
