Chance for Manika Batra to qualify for Olympics

In women's singles at the Asian Olympic Qualification tournament in Doha, Manika Batra and Sutirtha Mukherjee will go head-to-head. Thus, India is already assured of one quota as it will go to one of these two ladies.

As our correspondent Kapil Choudhary writes in this article, if Sutirtha beats Manika — the latter will get the quota even though she lost because Sawettabutt of Thailand has already qualified. But if Sutirtha loses, she'll need Paranang from Thailand to get South-Eastern quota to qualify.

We will update more on the possibilities as we inch closer to the game.
