Pv Sindhu will face off against Denmark's Mia Blichfeldt in the pre-quarterfinals. The Danish shuttler is ranked 12th in the world and has looked stunning at the Olympics 2021. She made her way into the knockouts after managing two straight set victories in her group stage games.

Sindhu, however, has a dominant 4-1 record against her Danish opponent. Mia's only win against Sindhu came earlier this year at the Thailand Open. The Indian will look for redemption in the pre-quarters by putting in her best performance and makin her way to the quarters.

Sindhu has been dominant in both her group stage games. A similar display in the knockout stages will definitely help her improve her chances of winning another Olympic medal. Sindhu has had problems crashing out of knockout tournaments. She will be hoping to end those talks by clinching gold for India at the Olympics.

When will PV Sindhu play Mia Blichfeldt in the pre-quarterfinals

PV Sindhu's pre-quarterfinal against Mia Blichfeldt is scheduled for July 30. The match timing has not been confirmed.
