Tokyo Olympics 2020: 'Olympic Fever' grips P.V Sindhu ahead of showpiece event

P. V Sindhu, who will spearhead India’s badminton contingent in the Tokyo Olympics 2021 is all set for the showpiece event. Sindhu has been seeded sixth in Group J of women’s singles while Sai Praneeth was seeded 13th in Group D of men’s singles competition. She will compete against Israel’s Ksenia Polikarpova and Hong Kong’s Cheung Ngan Yi. Sindhu, like many others, seems to have caught the Olympics fever. The ace India shuttler treated her fans with a glimpse of her stunning nail art. "Olympic Fever," wrote Sindhu on Twitter, counting down the days to the Olympics.

"It's a good draw in the group stage. Hong Kong girl plays well and it'll going to be a good match," Sindhu, who is world number seven, recently said in a release issued by the Badminton Association of India (BAI)."Everybody is going to be in top form, I hope I do well. Every match is important so I will take match by match. This is Olympic and it is not going to be easy, each point is very important," she added. On Tuesday, Sindhu spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during an online interaction with India’s Tokyo-bound athletes. PM Modi wished her luck and said that he will have an ice-cream with her when she succeeds in the Olympics.
