We are ready to play!

Sheer chills to see PV Sindhu out here today at the stage of the Olympics! 

On her last outing, she returned with a silver from Rio. Let's hope she can make it to a gold at Tokyo this time!

Players on court!

It is TIME for the drama to unfurl!

PV Sindhu and Ksenia Polikarpova are on the court at the grand Musashino Forest Sports Plaza! How pumped up are you?! 

Know the opponent - Israel's Ksenia Polikarpova

PV Sindhu has squared off against the 31-year-old Polikarpova only twice in her life. 

In those 2 meetings, Sindhu had the last word and today the World No. 7 shuttler from India will be looking to continue that dominance as she takes on her World No. 58 candidate from Israel in the opening match. 

1st session of #Badminton is underway. Just the matter of few minutes and @Pvsindhu1 will be in action.

Are you excited? 🔥#SmashForTheGlory #Badminton #Tokyo2020 #Cheer4India#TeamIndia pic.twitter.com/7ovIQBIH81
