Admitting that it has been challenging, the 2019 world champ said she has learnt to be more patient and keep up the fight from recent struggles. \"It has been a challenging (Olympic cycle). I had to rest for a couple of months and get back on court. But I have learnt a lot from those experiences, being patient and believing in myself. To keep fighting every single day,\" Sindhu said in a media interaction facilitated by the Sports Authority of India, Indian Olympic Association and the Badminton Association of India. Sindhu has faced many shuttlers from different backgrounds with varied styles of play over the years. It's a must for shuttlers to constantly update themselves based on who's in front of them. \"The competition is high so it is not going to be easy (Olympics). This is my third Olympics but every time the game keeps changing and some of them are new players while some of them will be taking part for the second time.
