I hope I maintain the same rhythm tomorrow as well," Olympics.com quoted PV Sindhu as saying.The Swiss Open 2023 champions, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty retired from the men's doubles competition seven minutes into their match against the world No. 41 Japanese team of Ayato Endo and Yuta Takei due to Satwiksairaj's injury."I just came back from an injury so I wasn't 100 per cent fit for the match so I didn't want to push it. We had a good last week and we played good matches at the All England Open so we didn't want to push ourselves too much as we have more important tournaments coming up," Satwiksairaj Rankireddy explained the decision to forfeit the match.The 18th-ranked women's doubles pair of Gayatri Gopichand and Treesa Jolly lost to Japanese Rena Miyaura and Ayako Sakuramoto 18-21, 16-21.In the opening match of the men's singles, Kidambi Srikanth, who dropped to No. 21 in the world rankings, upset Thailand's Sitthikom Thammasin ranked No. 32 in the world, 21-11, 25-27, 23-21.In a different men's singles match, Jan Louda of the Czech Republic, who was ranked 57th, was defeated by B Sai Praneeth.
