India's ace shuttler PV Sindhu topped her group to reach the Round of 16 in the women's singles competition at the Paris Olympics. On Wednesday, Sindhu dominated the proceedings to win against 73rd-ranked Kristin Kuuba of Estonia in her final Group M match.

Speaking after the game, Sindhu was asked about the prospect of winning three Olympic medals this year in Paris. Sindhu is already a 2-time Olympic medal winner, having clinched silver and bronze in Rio and Tokyo respectively.

Sindhu, while speaking to the press right after her event, said that she was grateful for the support and realised the responsibility and pressure of potentially becoming the first Indian athlete to achieve this feat.

"I think it's one match at a time. I feel really happy when people say that, you know, that they want a hat trick from you, We want that medal from you. It makes me feel really happy. You know, obviously, it comes with a lot of responsibilities, a lot of pressure. But it's important for me to just stay calm and just keep going one match at a time. Because you can't expect easy wins, So, yeah, you have to fight hard for it to earn it," Sindhu told the press after her final group stage match.
