Tokyo Olympics: Christiano Ronaldo, Roger Federer, And Serena Williams Biggest Inspiration For PV Sindhu

Ahead of Tokyo Olympics India's badminton ace PV Sindhu said that she draws inspiration from Christiano Ronaldo, Roger Federer, and Serena Williams.

Ahead of the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, India shuttler PV Sindhu has revealed she draws inspiration from Portuguese striker Cristiano Ronaldo. The 36-year-old footballer recently won the Golden Boot at Euro 2020 courtesy of his five goals and one assist and shows no signs of slowing down. "I don't have words, the way he (Ronaldo) plays, the skill, the technique he has is tremendous," Sindhu told Olympics.com. Apart from Ronaldo, she also looks up to two tennis legends in Serena Williams and Roger Federer. Both of them are arguably the greatest to grace the sport and Sindhu wants to emulate their perseverance and longevity. Serena Williams, 39, has won 23 Grand Slam titles and famously won the 2017 Australian Open while she was pregnant. Roger Federer, also 39, is still playing at the top level and recently reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals. "Serena believes she can do it, being a woman, being a mother. She's done exceptionally well, she's a strong woman. Whereas, Federer, is another legend. Maintaining that level till now, at his age, is not easy. He's been there at the top," said Sindhu. Sindhu will be starting her Olympic campaign against Israel's Polikarpova Ksenia on July 25 at court 2 of the Musashino Forest Sport Plaza BDM. She has already reached Tokyo and is gearing up for the training sessions in the capital city.
