Sourabh Verma pulls out of Senior Nationals

The 24-year-old, who last participated at the Japan Open Superseries in September, had suffered an ankle injury during training at Hyderabad and decided to skip Denmark Open and French Open.

“I am not playing at the Nationals as I am still not in the best shape to play. I had injured my ankle during training after the Japan Open and have started on-court training just this week,” Sourabh, who had won the Senior Nationals in 2011 and 2016, said. 

“I had issues in my ankle but it had aggravated during the training so I decided to take rest for a couple of weeks.” Verma will make a  comeback at the China Open Superseries Premier, which starts on November 14.
