She has won five BWF World Championships, making her the most successful Indian athlete in badminton ever.
She also became the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal and the first to win two Olympic medals in badminton, so what’s troubling Sindhu now? She has been losing every single tournament she appeared in the 2025 season. She’s facing issues marking a long-awaited victory as she has not won a single tournament after Syed Modi International in 2024. So, let’s take a deeper look at her journey so far in the 2025 season.
PV Sindhu’s Battle To Regain Top Form
PV Sindhu is facing numerous challenges in her journey to regain her top form after a series of losses in her 2025 campaign. Her last victory was at the Syed Modi International 2024, where she won the trophy by defeating Wu Luoyu of China.

She started her year with India Open, where she actually did well until she couldn’t and lost in the quarterfinals in three games. Then she lost in the Round of 32 in Indonesia Masters but this isn’t the worst. PV Sindhu faced a destructive early exit in the very first round in the All England Open against Kim Ga Eun, which also marked her fourth consecutive first-round exit at the tournament. Now, the Swiss Open is ongoing, and she lost in the first round again on 19 March 2025.
