Sindhu was a bit rusty at the beginning and it took an unforced error by Razzaq for Sindhu to win her first point in the game.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>Sindhu took a 2-0 lead with the help of a clear sent down the line. However, she soon lost momentum because of a few unforced errors while trying to outmanoeuvre her opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Sindhu&#8217;s slip-up allowed Fathimath to push the scores to 5-4 before the two-time Olympic medallist came roaring back.<\/p>\n<p>The Hyderabad-born announced herself on the court as she made Fathimath look very ordinary and raced into the mid-game interval with an 11-4 lead.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old picked up from where she had paused and showcased the reason why she was billed as an overwhelming favourite to win the contest against her Maldivian opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Fathimath tried really hard to wrestle back momentum but Sindhu foiled her plans to take the opening game 21-9. Sindhu amped up her play in the second game and swiftly gained an eight-point lead (11-3) to head into the mid-game interval.    <\/p>\n<p>Fathimath&#8217;s fortunes didn&#8217;t take a fortuitous turn after the play resumed as Sindhu came all guns blazing and finished the Maldivian challenge by dropping just three points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The world No. 13 will now take on the world No. 75 Kristin Kuuba of Estonia on Wednesday. Notably, Sindhu is eyeing a third straight medal at the Games. She had won a silver at the Rio Olympics after going down at the hands of Spain&#8217;s Carolina Marin in a three-game-long thriller.<\/p>\n<p>At Tokyo Olympics, she looked like cruising at one stage before Tai Tzu Ying put an end to her golden dreams. She defeated He Bing Jiao to claim the bronze medal.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/other\/pv-sindhu-begins-paris-olympics-campaign-with-resounding-win-over-fathimath-nabaaha-abdul-razzaq-2024-07-28-944035\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY IMAGES PV Sindhu.
