Sindhu, who lost to world number one Tai Tzu Ying 18-21, 12-21, will be aiming for the Bronze medal now as she takes on China’s world no. 9 Bingjiao in Tokyo. The 26-year-old can also become the first female athlete from India to win two Olympic medals.

Bingjiao, meanwhile, was stopped by compatriot Chen Yufei, who won the other semifinal 21-16, 13-21, 21-12. While Sindhu is seeking her second Olympic medal, the 24-year-old Chinese is chasing her first.

PV Sindhu vs He Bingjiao prediction

Bingjiao has troubled Sindhu in the past by attacking her backhand wing. But during the COVID-19 lockdown training, the world champion Indian has ironed out her flaws and all those tricks bode well for her prospects. Sindhu has also tightened her netplay and isn’t afraid to battle it out from the frontcourt. Meanwhile, Bingjiao is coming off two consecutive three-game matches and if this goes the distance, she might lack the energy to stay competitive.

Sindhu will beat Bingjiao win in three games to win the Bronze medal at Tokyo Olympics 2020.
