The birthday girl PV Sindhu will begin her quest for the 2023 Canadian Open title against local hope, 62nd seed Talia NG, in Calgary on Wednesday (July 5).

Since reaching the semi-finals of the Malaysia Masters in May, the Indian shuttle queen appears to have been in a bit of a slump. The two-time Olympic medalist suffered two first-round exits at the Thailand Open and the Singapore Open, respectively, before being knocked out at the Indonesia Open in the second round.

Sindhu’s struggles this year have seen her world ranking drop to the now low 15th. With the Asian Games fast approaching, Hyderabadi raced against time to regain the winning touch.

As the fourth seed at this week’s Super 500 event in Canada, Sindhu will be hoping to get some vital matches under her belt in a bid to boost her confidence.


PV Sindhu vs Talia NG: Head to Head and Prediction

Sindhu and Talia NG have never been on the tour before, so their head-to-head clash is still tied 0-0.

The Indian could not have asked for an easier opponent to start things off with. Talia NG is a 21-year-old rising star on the badminton circuit. Her notable performances in singles this year were two quarterfinals at the Pan Am Singles Championship and the Polish Open (International Challenge Event).

In women’s doubles, Talia reached the semifinals in the Mexican International Challenge partnering with compatriot Wen Yue Zhang.

There is clearly a wide gap between the experience of PV Sindhu and that of Talia NG. Unless the former world champion is rusty after a short break from the Tour, this should be an outing for her.
