With that we come to the end of this day for Indians. Manu Bhaker's bronze medal was the highlight of the day for India. Nikhat Zareen (boxing) and PV Sindhu (badminton) won their matches too. However, Indian women's archery team lost in the quarter-finals.

India's Harmeet Desai suffered a 0-4 loss against world no. 5 Felix Lebrun of France in the second round of the men's singles table tennis competition, ending his maiden Olympic campaign here on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Rohan Bopanna/N Sriram Balaji's match has been cancelled due to rain. The only Indian left today to compete is table tennis star Harmeet Desai who will face France's Felix LeBrun.  

"Situations are completely different for him, for me. He's being very competitive. I was not being very competitive for the last two years, so in that case, I think probably he is the clear favourite," said Nadal, who holds an 8-2 head-to-head advantage over the Serb at Roland Garros. 

"I'm going to try my best to bring the best to the court and then let's see how far I can go and how many problems I can create for him." 

Rafael Nadal insists Novak Djokovic will be the favourite when they clash at the Paris Olympics, after the Spaniard battled to victory over Marton Fucsovics in the first round on Sunday. Nadal had left his participation in the singles in doubt until the last minute because of a thigh injury, and was made to work hard for his 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 victory. 

Rafael Nadal set up an Olympic Games blockbuster against old rival Novak Djokovic on Sunday, justifying his last-minute decision to play despite injury concerns. Nadal, who has won 14 of his 22 Grand Slam titles at Roland Garros, defeated Marton Fucsovics 6-1, 4-6, 6-4 in the first round despite sporting strapping on his injured right thigh.

HS Prannoy win the second game 21-12 and hence the match in straight games. Both Indian shuttlers - PV Sindhu, HS Prannoy - have won today. 

On the tennis court. Nadal has lost the second set against Fucsovics 4-6. The match will now be decided in the third set.

Prannoy has made a brilliant comeback and has taken the first game 21-18. In the second game, Prannoy has taken a 7-3 lead.  

13th seed HS Prannoy is facing a good challenge from his German rival. He is trailing 15-12. He has the ability to comeback.

Meanwhile, Rafael Nadal is having an interesting encounter against Hungary's Marton Fucsovics. After the Spanish great won the first set 6-1,  he trailed 5-2 at one point. But, now Nadal have broken him and is serving to level the set.

Prannoy's match ahs started and the Indian shuttler is level at 5-5 with his German opponent. He is looking in good touch. 

HS Prannoy's match against Germany's Fabian Roth will start anytime soon. Along with Lakshya Sen, Prannoy is one of the big medal hope for India

After this the events that remain for India are: 

BADMINTON

Men's Singles (Group stage): HS Prannoy vs Fabian Roth (Germany)

The third sets starts. India shoots 4-10-8 in the first half. Netherlands shoots 10-10-9

The second half: India shoots 8-8-10; Netherlands shoots 9-9-7

It means India are out of women's archery team event from the quarter-finals 

The second set starts - India shoots 10-10-8. Netherlands shoots 8*-9-8. 

In the second half - India shoots 6-9-6. Netherlands shoots 9-9-9

It means India have lost the first two sets.

Bad news from  the pool. India's swimming campaign at the Paris Olympics came to an end with both Srihari Nataraj and Dhinidhi Desinghu failing to progress to the semifinals of their respective events.

Nataraj finished joint-second in the slower heat with a timing of 55.01s but the 23-year-old was 33rd in the overall standing for the 100m men's backstroke event. The 16 fastest swimmers from the heats qualify to the semifinals.

The performance was far from Nataraj's personal best of 53.77s and was considerably slower than his season best time of 54.68s.

"It was a long due medal for India. I was merely a mode to do it. India deserves even more medals. We are looking forward to (winning) as many medals as posssible this time. Personally for me the feeling is surreal. I put in a lot of effort. Even till the last shot I was fighting with all energy that I had. This is a bronze. Maybe better next time," Manu Bhaker said after the win.

Two-time world champion Nikhat Zareen powered into the women's 50kg Olympics' pre-quarterfinals with a hard-fought victory over Germany's Maxi Karina Kloetzer. The 28-year-old, who is unseeded, prevailed by a 5-0 unanimous decision win against her German opponent.

After winning the medal, Manu Bhaker expressed her delight. However, she insisted that the job is not done as she wants to do better in the other disciplines. She will be in action tomorrown in the Mixed 10m Air Pistol, as well as the Women's 25m Pistol on August 2.

Manu shot 221.7 in the final to become the first Indian women's athlete to win a medal in shooting. Meanwhile, South Korea's Oh Ye Jin wins the gold with an Olympic record score of 243.2 points. Another Korean Ki Yejin takes the silver with 241.3 points.

Sandeep Singh and Arjun Babuta are in action in the 10m Men's Air Rifle qualification round. Both had a disappointing show in the mixed team event yesterday. Need some course correction

India's Sreeja Akula wins first game 11-4 against Sweden's Christina Kallberg in Table Tennis women's singles Round of 16. Effortless from the youngster

Good news coming from the Cheatearoux Shooting Center as Ramita Jindal has qualified for the 10m Women's Air Rifle final. She finished 5th in the standings with an aggregate of 631.5. 

On the other hand, Elavenil Valarivan missed out on a spot after a disappointing final series. She was leading the Ramita in the first 5 series' but put on a shocking display in the final series.

Elavenil is on the cusp of reaching the final. So far, she has scored 105.8, 106.1, 104.4, 105.3 in across the first 4 series'. Ramita Jindal doing well, but she is currently out of the qualification spots.

Shooter Elavenil Valarivan takes another step towards the 10m Women's Air Rifle final. She is currently fifth in the stands after scoring 104.4 in the third series. Ramita, on the other hand, is out of qualifications spots currently.

India's Balraj Panwar finishes 2nd in repechage round behind Monaco's Quentin Antognelli. Balraj is into the quarterfinals. Good news for India.

Elavenil Valarivan is fourth after Series 1. She aggregated 105.8 in the Series 1 while Ramita Jindal is outside the race, as it stands. Rememder, top 8 athletes qualify for the final

International Testing Agency (ITA) has provisionally suspended Nigerian boxer Cynthia Temitayo Ogunsemilore for violating anti-doping rules ahead of her opening fight at Paris Olympics. Ogunsemilore was due to make her Olympic tournament debut on Monday in the -60 kg category.

Indian archer Deepika Kumari's mother, Geeta Devi, is hopeful that her daughter secures a place in the semi-final of the Olympics women's archery team event and returns home with a medal from Paris.

"I pray to Maa Goddess that she blesses her with a victory in her fourth Olympics. Her newborn was just a week old when she started preparing for the Olympics. I can't control my tears, it will be just the blessings of God if she wins the medal."

Rafael Nadal has voiced his displeasure with the scheduling of the Paris Games. The former Olympic champion's participation in the opening singles match is now a doubt. Nadal teamed up with Carlos Alcaraz in the men's doubles event, with the two beating sixth-seeded Argentines Maximo Gonzalez and Andres Molteni 7-6(4), 6-4 to reach the second round.

"A 2:00 p.m. game? I don't understand the schedule. It seems outrageous to me when I'm playing at two o'clock," said Nadal to the media on Saturday evening in Paris.

PV Sindhu Sindhu will open her campaign in the hunt for an unprecedented medal in third successive Game. She takes on Fathimath Nabbah Abdul Razzaq of Maldives in women's singles Group M. The match is expected to start at 12:50

Ramita won silver in the women's rifle team event at the Asian games, while also clinching an individual bronze. However, she was a bit off colour in the mixed team event yesterday. Need some course correction from the former Junior world champion

First up, 10m Air Rifle Women's Qualification. Ramita Jindal and Elvaneil Valarivan will carry India's hopes. After yesterday's disappointment, both will look to secure passage to the final, and hopefully a medal or two.

Manu Bhaker was just 16 years old when she became the youngest Indian to win a gold medal at an ISSF World Cup. She also broke the junior world record in the qualification round of the event. In the final, she shot a total of of 237.5 to win the gold medal, beating Olympic gold-medallist Anna Korakaki, three-time World Cup medallist Celine Goberville.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Day 2 of Paris Olympics 2024. India couldn't open its medal account on Saturday, with the shooting contingent disappointing. Manu Bhaker then became the first Indian woman to qualify for an individual shooting final in Olympics history. Can she fetch the elusive gold today?
