Paris: Two-time Olympics medallist PV Sindhu started her Paris Olympics 2024 campaign on a rousing note as she breezed past Maldives’ FN Abdul Razzaq in just 29 minutes to win 21-9, 21-6 in her first women’s singles Group M encounter on Sunday. Seeded 10th in the competition, Sindhu was no match for her opponent as the Indian dominated the whole game and never gave Abdul Razzaq a chance for a comeback.
