Sindhu, Lakshya march into pre-quarterfinals with dominant wins

Indian badminton stars PV Sindhu and Lakshya Sen both secured places in the pre-quarterfinals of the women’s and men’s singles events at the Paris Olympics. Sindhu defeated Kristin Kuuba of Estonia with a score of 21-5 21-10 in her second and final Group M match, while Sen beat Indonesia’s world number 4 Jonatan Christie 21-18 21-12. Sen expressed his confidence in his form and prospects for a gold medal.

He mentioned his strong performance in recent months and his determination to fight in every match and every point. Sindhu is expected to face Chinese player He Bingjiao, whom she has lost to 11 times and won against 9 times. Sen will likely play against world number 13 HS Prannoy in an all-Indian contest.

It’s worth noting that Sindhu had defeated a Chinese player en route to winning a bronze medal at the Tokyo Games. Sen showed great skill and maturity as he strategically targeted Christie’s weak forehand and used fast and flat exchanges to secure the win.

He maintained a high tempo throughout the match and capitalized on his opponent’s errors. Sindhu and Sen’s dominant performances have made India proud at the Paris Olympics.
