As we all know that From Tuesday another Olympic tournament is going to starts. Yes you guess it right, Swiss Open 2021 beginning from Tuesday that will run until June 15. With the announcement of this all players are set to qualify participation in it. In this run, all eyes will be on Saina Nehwal. She is the former world number one and is yet to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. The tournament offers 7,000 ranking points to the winner and 5,950 ranking points to the runner-up.
Here it is to be noted that Nehwal had won this Olympic in 2011 and 2012. At that time she was at the peak of career and perform well both menatally and physically. The world number 19 can possibly face compatriot and reigning world champion PV Sindhu in the semi-final. The two India stars are placed in the same half, however, Sindhu has a comparatively easier passage till the quarter-finals. the world number 7, seeded second, will look to go the distance again as she opens her campaign against Turkey's Neslihan Yigit.
For your information, let us share that on another path Sindhu didn't have a good outing in the three events in Thailand recently but the road to the quarterfinal here looks smooth for the 25-year-old. She is likely to face fifth seed Thai Busanan Ongbamrungphan, an opponent she had beaten at the Toyota Thailand Open in January. Talking about the Saina nehwal, She is just 30 and will have to overcome players like Korea's sixth seed Sung Ji Hyun and fourth seeded Danish Mia Blichfeldt -- whom she is likely to meet -- to set up a semifinal face-off with Sindhu.
