Must-win Men's Singles tie!
A must-win men's singles tie up next for India, and it will be Sai Praneeth who takes to the court. He looked completely out of sorts yesterday in mixed doubles, can he make amends today?
Praneeth will be up against Shi Yu Qi - the World Number 10. Not to forget that Praneeth himself is ranked 15 in the world. Should be a close contest this.
Easy Peasy for Chen Yufei
Aditi Bhatt hits the shuttle wide of the sidelines, and the Olympic Champion wraps up the match 21-9, 21-8 in just 27 minutes.
