“It is made of the best parts of Saina Nehwal and PV Sindhu,” said Tanvi’s Sharma coach, Tae-Sang, after the silver medal of the disciple at the recently closed American Open 2025.
When the praise of this size comes from such a seasoned coach, you sit down and notice.
“Actually, with Tanvi, I wanted to combine both Indian legends. When he’s in court, he’s like Saina Nehwal – it’s complicated. He’s also like PV Sindu – she plays with aggression and is the highest level worldwide. So I wanted Tanvi to learn good points from both players.”
The high praise of the coach came after the 16 -year -old Tanvi Sharma started in the recently closed tournament. The unlimited Indian shutter, known mainly for his exploitation in the junior badminton categories, shot several of the best stars in the senior circuit to reach the final of the tournament.
The aggressive Tanvi captured his rivals out of sight in almost every match and achieved the final of the tournament without losing a single game. Tanvi became half of the Indian incredible success at the US Open Where 20 -year -old Ayush Shetty caused the main upset in men’s singlesIt helps India to win its first badminton competition in 2025.
Tanvi’s tournament was bitter. After the match she admitted that her nervousness got better in the final of the tournament. In the face of the world no. 18 Beiwen Zhang, Tanvi lost 11-21, 21-16, 10-21.
The clock after her finals, when the adrenaline rush went through, Tanvi thought about her game and said this Masthead that she should minimize her unforced mistakes.
“There were many unforced mistakes and I have to work on them and also on my perseverance,” Tanvi said.
Loss in the Super 300 final, however, does not care what it has achieved in the last week. Dating from a modest family in Hoshiarpur in Pandjab, Tanvi’s goal this year was to complete the junior competition to play the final tournament of the seniors. The fact that the loss in the final sting as a bee speaks of the ambitions that bears.
“In fact, it has been my destination for a long time. I was waiting for a moment when I could take part in 300 tournaments and play the final of such a tournament. I had a good training before this tournament, so of course I didn’t expect to achieve the final. I just expected the best in every match.”
No rush
Park Tae-Sang, a veteran of sports, emphasized the importance of being slowly accepting things with Tanvi things. The park reminds that it is very young, only 16 years old, still juggling between its academics and sport. He says that their focus is to take things step by step, because a sharp leap on the level can also lead to a steeper decline.
“She’s still young, she is only sixteen, so she gets many chances in the future. I want to say there is no rush. He can move slowly, slowly,” the park told the usual chirp way.
And then there is a warning.
“If he starts to think,” Oh, I’m a runner and got a silver medal for 300 tournaments, now I want to play more, “it can avert her focus, and she could fall again. So I want to do everything a little bit, ”adds Park.
However, there is no doubt about the potential. Recognition that was obtained by a lot of hard work. The persecution of badminton in a modest family is a difficult effort. One of the highest sports minds in the country – Pulllela GoPichand – claimed that parents coming from a humble environment, They should not even think about being their children in sport.
But Tanvi enjoyed the support of her family. Her parents were stuck in this process when both children entered the ranks, and did not give up when Tanvi and her sister trained as Nescholarshing trainees at the GoPichand Academy in Hyderabad in 2016–2021.
“My husband is a government employee and we decided to take Tanvi together with Radhika to Hyderabad to train at the academy. It is not easy to stay in such a big city and it took us a lot of expenditure,” said Tanvi’s mother, former international player of volleyball, in 2023.
Pv sindu fan
Trust paid off and Tanvi turned into a serial winner in junior categories. A real PV Sindu fan, Tanvi, founded his play on the Indian Double Olympic medalist, attacked the shuttles with a sharp power from Backcourt, and then found that in recent years another tact in his game, like Saina Nehwal.
“From the beginning I watched a lot of Sindu Didi. From her aggression to her strikes on the pitch, he motivated me a lot and made me believe that I could do it as well.
She is enthusiastic about working with Tae-Sang, who has trained Sindu for almost 4 years.
“I feel so blessed and happy to train with him. I have the best coach and I just want to work hard and move on,” she said.
Good relationship
The duo hit the chord. Tae-Sang jokes that Tanvi’s work ethics and energy are so good that his old bones can’t match.
“I’m tired,” the park said as Tanvi laughed in the background.
“Tanvi never does. He always trains and wants to learn more. So, as a coach, I’m very happy. Tanvi also has a good talent and potential. I want to be another Sindu and Sain’s generation or even better – a player that is among the best in the world.
The park believes that Tanvi can prove to be the biggest badminton star the country has ever seen.
The park revealed that the goal for Tanvi is the gold medal at the Los Angeles Olympics, which is to be hosted in 2028. Tanvi will then be 19. The coach closes by saying that it is important that TanVI this year slowly. They have to play in October the World Junior Championship and then make a transition to the categories of seniors.
“In October I was already discussing Tanvi about the Tanvi of the World Championship. Added.
