Next Up: PV Sindhu vs Nozomi Okuhara

Focus shifts on to PV Sindhu now. She has not had the best of years, but we all know she is a big tournament player. Well, it doesn't get bigger than this. The World Championships Round of 32. She has an early test in the Japanese Okuhara today, because her rankings do not give her an advantage in the seeding list anymore.

Her back is against the wall. Now is the time to show that she has what it takes to return to the top one last time. The women's singles match should start in less than an hour's time, by around 8 pm IST.
