The 26-year-old silver-medallist from the Rio Games, however, remained in the hunt for a <keyword id="53139" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="bronze">bronze</keyword> medal and will be competing against <keyword id="1334" type="COUNTRY" weightage="20" keywordseo="China">China</keyword>'s He Bing Jiao in the third place play-off at Musashino Forest Plaza on Sunday.

This is Sindhu's 14th loss to the Taiwanese second seed in 19 meetings, having also lost to her in the last three face-offs.

The 13-year-old Bornil displayed remarkable composure and skill, especially in a tight first game, to overcome Fan Hong Xuan 21-19, 21-13 in 34 minutes.

Paris [France], August 1 (ANI): India's <keyword id="3992621" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="badminton-legend" source="Orion">badminton legend</keyword>, <keyword id="20626607" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Prakash-Padukone" source="keywords">Prakash Padukone</keyword>, believes the star duo <keyword id="3808496" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Satwiksairaj-Rankireddy" source="Orion">Satwiksairaj Rankireddy</keyword> and <keyword id="749483" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Chirag-Shetty" source="Orion">Chirag Shetty</keyword> have a chance of returning with an Olympic gold. The world number three ranked duo punched their ticket for the quarter-finals of <keyword id="450124" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="badminton-doubles" source="Orion">badminton doubles</keyword> with a straight-game win over Indonesia's Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto. Satwik and Chirag have roared and soared high in the world of <keyword id="20012442" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="badminton" source="keywords">badminton</keyword> as a pair. They have toppled numerous records and lifted various titles before landing in Paris. They looked flawless in their technique and style throughout the group stage. In their quest for a medal in the men's doubles event, Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik stand in their way. Ahead of the highly anticipated fixture, Prakash backed the duo to go all the way to the final on the back of their impressive outings. "As they are playing, there is a chance. There are definitely chances of winning the medal. But you can't say it with surety. They have come to the quarter-finals. The way they are playing, they have good chances of winning," Prakash told ANI. In the men's singles event, Lakshya Sen and HS Prannoy are set to square off against each other. In a clash of young, brimming talent against experienced shuttlers, both India stars will compete for a spot in the quarter-finals. Lakshya ousted world number three shuttler, Jonatan Christie. While Prannoy overcame a challenge from Vietnam's Le Duc Phat to top his group. As the two Indian stars prepare to fight for a spot in the next round, Prakash believes that the best player will go ahead in the event and said, "He (Lakshya) is playing so well. It was a good match with Christie. It was a crucial match. He won in the straight game. He is playing well. He will play against Prannoy tomorrow. Both Indians have a match in the pre-quarter-finals. There is a knockout from now on. We will have to wait and see. The best player will go ahead." Another shuttler who has eyes on a medal is two-time Olympic medallist PV Sindhu. Prakash, who is serving as the mentor of Sindhu, believes the real competition for her will begin against China's He Bingjiao in the Round of 16. "The group stage was easy. There were no tough matches. But there will be a knockout in the pre-quarter-final against a Chinese player, He Bingjiao. The real competition will start tomorrow," he added.

Reigning world champion P V Sindhu advanced to the pre-quarterfinals of women's singles badminton event at the <keyword id="395647" type="SPORT" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tokyo-Olympics">Tokyo Olympics</keyword> after beating Hong Kong's NY Cheung in a group J match here on Wednesday. The 26-year-old Indian, who had claimed a silver medal in the last edition in Rio, prevailed over world No. 34 Cheung 21-9 21-16 in a 35-minute match to top the group. This was Sindhu's sixth win over Cheung in as many meetings. World No. 7 Sindhu will meet Denmark's world number 12 Mia Blichfeldt, who topped Group I. Sindhu has a 4-1 head-to-head record against Blichfeldt, whose only win against the Indian was at the Yonex Thailand Open earlier this year. The <keyword id="55383" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shuttler">shuttler</keyword> from Hyderabad, seeded sixth, had defeated Ksenia Polikarpova of Israel in her opening match. Sindhu used her repertoire of strokes, and her ability to vary the pace troubled the Hong Kong player, making her run around the court. The Indian will then come up with a perfect placement. Cheung got a few points with her deceptive cross court returns but she committed many unforced errors to have any chance of putting pressure on the Indian. Sindhu led 6-2 early on before galloping to 10-3. She committed a rare error before entering the interval at 11-5. The Indian didn't have any trouble after resumption as she zoomed to 20-9 and pocketed the opening game when Cheung netted a return. Cheung was looking to script an incredible turnaround in the second game as she extended the rallies and with Sindhu too struggling to control the shuttle, the duo moved 6-6 and 8-8. Sindhu also made judgement errors before sending the shuttle wide again to hand over a slender one point advantage to her opponent. Cheung tried to put pressure on Sindhu but the Indian wriggled out with her better strokeplay which included a few straight down the line smashes. Sindhu moved to 19-14 before grabbing six match points but she missed the lines again and netted a shot to squander two match points before sealing it with a smash. Later in the day, B Sai Praneeth will take on M Caljouw of Netherlands in his second and final men's singles Group D match.
