According to the match schedule, at 0:30 a.m. on August 1, tennis player Le Duc Phat will have a confrontation with Prannoy from India. This is the match for first place in Group K, and at the same time competing for tickets to continue in the men's singles event in badminton at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Previously, in the opening match, Duc Phat easily defeated Roth Fabian (Germany) with a score of 2-0 (21-10, 21-10) after only 34 minutes. Meanwhile, Prannoy also surpassed his German opponent 2-0, but the scores were narrower, 21-18 and 21-12, respectively.

However, this does not mean much because the two athletes will face each other in the next match, deciding their place in the next round.
On the world rankings, Le Duc Phat is ranked 71st, and Prannoy is 58 places higher, ranked 13th. During his career, the Indian tennis player once rose to 6th place. Most recently, Prannoy won bronze medal at ASIAD 19.
Le Duc Phat is expected to face many difficulties against his opponents. But the athlete born in 1998 himself has made great progress over the past year.
Fans are looking forward to Duc Phat's performance and expect him to create a miracle in his first appearance at the Olympics.
