Japanese girls Nozomi Okuhara and Akane Yamaguchi will be medal favourites

There will be trouble for PV Sindhu to get a clear shot at the Tokyo Olympics gold because Japanese ace shuttlers Nozomi Okuhara and Akane Yamaguchi will be manning the podium spots. 

Okuhara, also a bronze medallist at the 2016 Rio Olympics as well as a silver medallist at the 2019 World Championships, is an arch-rival for PV Sindhu and it will be a tough road for the Indian shuttler.
