Zhang Miao begins strong in Game 1
Quick and short start from Zhang Miao as she takes a 2-0 lead here in Game 1.
If Bhavina wins, she will fight for gold!
Having already confirmed a bronze, Bhavina Patel has golden dreams in her eyes as she heads into the semi-finals!
Let's go, Bhavina!
The toss has happened and Bhavina has chosen the left side of the table - here we go!
We are all set to begin as players have arrived on court and we are in the mood to make history, I'm sure!
We are down to the last few minutes before we begin the semi-finals!
The wait is almost at an end as Bhavina Patel and Miao Zhang will take their places at Table No. 6 of the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium very soon now to set the semi-final rolling!
Bhavina has been unstoppable at the Games in her debut appearance
Although Bhavina missed out on representing India at the 2016 Rio Paralympics owing to certain paperwork issues, Bhavina is making up for it in Tokyo and how - as she has already confirmed a medal and delivered rousing performances against the very best's in the world!
Know the opponent - Miao Zhang!
It will be a tough battle for Bhavina Patel once again today but there is no underestimating the stunner from Gujarat anymore.
Bhavina Patel will contest the semifinal of women's singles Class 4 against the 2016 Rio de Janeiro silver medallist Miao Zhang. While the Chinese third seed would definitely enter this match as an overwhelming favourite considering her record against the Indian, one can't really predict with the form Bhavina has displayed over the past two days.
It has been emotional so far for both Bhavina and us ever since she confirmed a medal here!
Nobody did see such a strong, surreal performance coming from Bhavina Patel - yet, she has shown she can pack in a lot of surprises as she ousted the reigning Paralympic champion and World No. 2 from Serbia to storm into the semi-finals and confirm a medal! What a force, Bhavina is!
Time to rise and shine as a medal is coming home!
A very good morning to all of you as we settle in to watch Bhavina Patel give it her all against China's Miao Zhang in the semi-finals today and hope to progress and upgrade her medal colour!
