"Sindhu is playing back-to-back tournaments, the All England Championship and Swiss Open. She has to maintain her strength, and consecutive tournaments can be physically and mentally draining. So, she will have to skip Malaysia GP gold," Sindhu's father P V Ramana told PTI from Hyderabad.
"She will next play in India Super series in New Delhi and then Singapore Open," he informed.
World No. 9 shuttler had won her maiden Grand Prix title last year when Malaysia Open was held in Kuala Lumpur in May, followed by the Macau Open Grand Prix Gold title in December.
"It is a hectic year and there are many important tournament like Commonwealth Games and Asian Games lined up. So maintaining fitness and peaking at right time is very important.
"So she has to make time for training. As long as she can maintain her ranking she can afford to skip a few tournaments. Gopi (national coach Pullela Gopichand) will decide her schedule with time," said her father.
"She is taking one match at a time. The first two rounds are favourable but then she will have Shixian Wang in the quarters and the Chinese is in very good form. So let's hope for the best."
The 18-year-old Hyderabadi is presently playing at the Swiss Open Grand Prix Gold in Basel, where she is seeded seventh.
