Indian Badminton Star Sindhu Feeling the Tokyo Pressure

India's badminton superstar PV Sindhu admits that the pressure is on at the Tokyo Olympics and she will be in the firing line.

The 26-year-old world champion, who won silver at the Rio 2016 Games, begins her tilt at gold on Sunday against Israel's Ksenia Polikarpova. With Rio champion Carolina Marin out of Tokyo with a serious knee injury, world number seven Sindhu is among the favorites in what looks to be an open field. "There is definitely a lot of expectation. There are a lot more responsibilities and definitely there will be pressure," said the Indian, reflecting on her status as reigning world champion.
