Tokyo Olympics: PV Sindhu storms into the semis in women

Rio Olympics silver medallist and reigning world Champion PV Sindhu reached the semifinals of the women's singles badminton competition-beating Japan's Akane Yamaguchi 21-13, 22-20 in 56 minutes at the Tokyo Olympics on Friday.

PV Sindhu, looking to add a gold medal to the silver she won in Rio, dominated her Japanese rival at the net, created points with her disguised shots, and completed straight game wins.

The Indian 26-year-old Indian shuttler from Hyderabad was in total control of the first game and then quelled a strong fightback by Akane to reach the semifinals for the second successive Olympics.
