2016 Olympics: India at Rio, Day 11

Two-time World Championship bronze-medallist PV Sindhu made it to the semi-finals of the women's singles badminton beating world no.2 Wang Yihan in straight games

The 21-year-old Indian, who came into the match with a 2-4 head-to-head record, dished out a compact game to outmanoeuvre the more experienced Wang 22-20, 21-19

The gruelling match lasting 54 minutes

With the memorable win, Sindhu became the second Indian badminton player to reach an Olympic semifinal after Saina Nehwal achieved the feat four years ago

India's Greco-Roman wrestler Hardeep Singh lost his opening round bout in the 98 kg category

The Turkish wrestler won the bout 2-1 despite a stiff resistance from the 25-year-old Indian

Hardeep's hopes of making it to the repechage was blown away when Cenk subsequently lost to Artur Aleksanyan of Armenia 0-9 in the semi-final
