Two-time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu will be spearheading a huge 26-member Indian contingent in the 114th edition of the All England Open in Birmingham from March 16 to 22.

A medal at the world's oldest badminton tournament has so far eluded the World No. 7. She has made two trips to the semi-finals, in 2018 and 2021, which have so far been her best performances at the Super 1000 event.

The Syed Modi International champion will be eager to improve on those results and add a medal from the All England Open to her illustrious resume.

She opens her campaign on Wednesday against World No. 17 Wang Zhi Yi of China. The 21-year-old has had a terrific junior career, winning the Asian Junior Championships gold, the World Junior Championships bronze and the Youth Olympics silver medals.

Making rapid strides on the senior circuit, the youngster went on to win six titles in 2019. Wang Zhi Yi has, however, not been able to taste glory on the tour since then.

She has only played a solitary event this year - the German Open - where she bowed out in the first round. Facing the highly accomplished PV Sindhu could be an uphill task for the Chinese.
