2. PV Sindhu

Like Srikanth, PV Sindhu will also be competing in her maiden Olympics and will look to leave an impression on the biggest stage of them all. The 20-year-old has shown potential to do well on the global stage.

The 21-year-old has to her credit two World Championships medals and two Uber Cup medals, but lie Jwala and Ashwini have in doubles, has shown inconsistency in her Singles game, swinging between very good to mediocre.

What will work in her favour is her ability to raise in the crunch moment and she will need to do that in Rio in order to succeed in her maiden Games.

Prediction:Semifinals
