Sindhu was the only Indian shuttler on schedule today.What a performance! And Sindhu wasn't even playing at her 100%.

Sindhu took a few minutes to gauge the conditions, the drift and her opponent. But since she found her rhythm, she was simply unstoppable!

This was a Group J match. Remember Sindhu needs to top the group in order to advance to the Round of 16.

This was the perfect start she needed and will boost her confidence a lot as she faces tougher opponents.
As expected, Indian badminton Queen PV Sindhu has easily won her 1st match of the Tokyo Olympics vs Ksenia Polikarpova of Israel. Placed in a Group J, Sindhu defeated the player from Israel without breaking much sweat. Sindhu won 21-7, 21-10.

“Even though my opponent was lower-ranked. I didn’t want to assume it would be easy. It is important to be focused. I made sure we had some rallies and I got used to the court,” Sindhu told BWF website.

It’s important to make sure you play all your strokes and get used to them on the court because you can’t play them all of a sudden against a stronger opponent, you can’t do that. It is important to know that your strokes are going well,” she added.
