Sindhu unhappy with timing of new service law, refuses to speak on BWF schedule

New Delhi: Olympic and World Championship silver medallist P V Sindhu feels the experimental service law in badminton could have come at a better time. According to the new rule, "the whole of the shuttle shall be below 1.15 metres from the surface of the court at the instant of being hit by the server's racket." The law will be tested at next year's All England Open Championships.

"From my side its just that it could have come at a better time. A different tournament instead of the All England Championships because it is a very prestigious tournament for everybody," Sindhu said here today when asked



about the service experiment .

"As far as my service goes I am trying but it should not be much of problem. We just need to practice it out," she said. Asked about the cramped international calendar, which has been slammed by top players like Saina Nehwal and Carolina Marin, Sindhu said there is no point talking about it.

"The calender has already come out so we can not say we won't play. Of course its a very tough schedule with World Championship, Asian Games and Commonwealth Games. I am going to pick and choose tournaments and plan with the coach accordingly."
