She managed to reach the quarter-finals for the second time in her Olympics career with a final score of 6-4.

Deepika took the first set with two solid 10s and a 9 but the Dutch woman fought back to win the second. Moving forward to last set, Roeffen scored a 6 giving Kumari a lead forward, and her husband an opportunity to get extremely happy and pleased about her performance.
