PV Sindhu Vs He Bing Jiao Paris Olympics 2024 Badminton Round Of 16: When And Where To Watch Indian Shuttler LIVE
Top Indian shuttler PV Sindhu will resume her bid to vie for a third Olympic medal at the Paris Olympics 2024 when she goes up against China’s He Bing Jiao in a round of 16 match in the women’s singles contest on Thursday. Sindhu is coming into this contest with a 21-5, 21-10 win over Kristin Kuuba of Estonia in her second and last Group M match.
Sindhu is the third Indian singles player from India to make this stage apart from Lakshya Sen and HS Prannoy, who face off against each other on Thursday as well.
“It was important for me to top the group. I would be playing against He Bing Jiao mostly. I hope I take this confidence and go forward. It’s not going to be easy, so I have to be prepared and be 100 per cent,” Sindhu said after her win on Wednesday.
The gulf in class between the two players was evident as Sindhu pocketed the opening game in 14 minutes with the Estonian looking completely out of sorts.
The Chinese shuttler Jiao kicked off her campaign in Paris by hammering Keisha Fatimah Azzahra 21-8, 21-7. She was stretched a bit in her second group-stage contest against Kirsty Gilmour of Great Britain but eventually won it 24-22, 21-8.
Bing Jiao will be the higher seed in this contest, seeding sixth in the Paris Olympics while India’s Sindhu is the 10th seeds but when it comes to ranking Sindhu is in 13th spot and the Chinese shuttler is ranked 9th in the world. Sindhu is already two-time Olympic medallist with a silver medal at 2016 Rio Olympics and a bronze medal at Tokyo Olympics 2020.
Sindhu’s Chinese opponent also holds the edge in head-to-head contests at 11-9. Bing Jiao had defeated Sindhu at the Asian Games 2022 while the Indian had got the better of her at Malaysia Masters 2022.
