Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Top seed Iga Swiatek has been stunned by China's Zheng Qinwen in the semi-finals at Roland Garros. This is her first loss at the famous venue since 2021. The overwhelming favourite for gold was outplayed 6-2, 7-5 on Court Philippe Chatrier. Swiatek's 25-match winning streak at Roland Garros has also come to an end.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: And Lakshya closes it out emphatically. Prannoy's bouts of illness and the tough match he played yesterday has caught up with him and he was not even close to his 100 percent today. Lakshya made full use of that, kept his eye on the ball and went through.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Lakshya races away to a 10-point lead and pulls beyond as well. Prannoy tries chipping back but Lakshya keeps pulling away. Prannoy is also sucking some deep breaths at this point as well.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Eight-point lead for Lakshya now at the break. He is just too good at the moment and it does look like Prannoy knows that his race has been run.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Prannoy stops the flurry of points going Lakshya's way by getting his third. Then a booming smash from Sen on Prannoy's back hand gets him to nine.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Lakshya races away in the second game. He gets that fifth point with a smash that keeps going away from Prannoy. The younger Indian is on a role here and one has to wonder if Prannoy's recent health issues are starting to take a toll here.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Lakshya reaches nine game points with a very good serve that Prannoy had no answer for. He picks off the next point and takes quite a domiant win in the first game. The score is a fair reflection on the game, Lakshya has attacked and defended better than Prannoy. A lot to do for the senior Indian.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Lakshya charges to 18 points and then Prannoy takes two back to back points. Prannoy returns a late push from Sen with a smash to take that second point.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Lakshya restores his six point lead with a big jumping smash on Prannoy's back hand. Prannoy continues to be quite defensive.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Slow start this from Prannoy. Lakshya on the other hand is all energy and power. Prannoy did start off similarly slow in his last group game and so making any predictions at this stage is not adviced.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Long rally between these two ends when Prannoy erroneously leaves a flighted shot from Lakshya on the baseline. The younger Indian has the clear upper hand in this first game.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Lakshya pulls away early on. Prannoy then fights back with a couple of consecutive points. However Lakhsya pulls further away as Prannoy's backhand goes wide.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Well we move quickly on from that disappointment to quite an unexpected, if slightly bittersweet encounter. Lakshya and Prannoy face off on Court 3 in the men's singles quarterfinals. It will be a lonely match for both players with the coaches, who are the same for both, having to sit out.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: End of the road for Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty in men's doubles. Satwik hits a low shot into the net and that closes out the match. It started out with the Indians on top but it ends with the Malaysians roaring their way into the semi-finals. That was one epic encounter from a neutral perspective and it is disappointment for the third-seeded Indian pair at the end of it.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Oh the Malaysians are on a role now. They reel off the next few points quickly, now just two away from reaching the semi-final.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: It stayed level back and forth until 16-16. Then Chia's serve touches Satwik and the Malaysians go one point ahead.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: And now the Malaysians level it up again! Just no separating these two sides, it's been a see-saw all match-long and it continues to be so. The Indians are now playing from the slower side of the court, they have it tougher.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Satwik and Chirag with a sort of a one-two punches of smashes to take their 13th point. Then A pulsating rally with the players darting everywhere goes India's way.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: This has been quite a turnaround in this game from Satwik and Chirag. They looked all at sea at the start of it but they take a two point lead at the interval.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: The Indians are back and we are back to level-pegging now. There is a draft flowing towards the other side of the court that Satwik and Chirag are now on, and that is the side from which they will be finishing. And so it is very important for them to make the most of this first half of the Game 3.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: The Malaysians pull away in the third game and a few unforced errors creeping into the Indians' game now. They are certainly not looking even close to being as confident as they were in the second half of the first game.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: The Malaysians set up six game points and don't take long in converting it. So into the decider we go and the two sets of players will play from both sides of the court.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Oh the Indians are suddenly losing their grips on this one. The Malaysians reel off four consecutive points and the only time the Indians get anything is through a service error. Satwik came up with a no-look backhand but the Malaysians won that point still and get to 19.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: This time it is the Malaysians who are ahead at the mid-game interval. Chirag levels it up 10-10 at the net but the Malaysians send one down the middle of the court to split the two Indians and take the lead at the break.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: The Malaysians have caught up with the Indian and once again, no separating these two. A wild shot from Chia at the end of an intense rally lets the Indians go ahead. However, Chia gets one back by putting Satwik's defence to the sword and coming out on top.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Well the Malaysians currently have no reply to Satwik's smashes it seems. The Indians race away in the second game. This has been a very impressive performance from them thus far. They trail 8-3 against Soh and Chia, remember. But all three of their wins have come in their last three matches against the Malaysians.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: This has been quite a show from Satwik and Chirag. They have been utterly dominant since the mid-game interval and Soh-Chia managed to get just three more points.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Chirag with the winner and the Indians set up eight game points. One of those is squandered with a service fault and now the Malaysians serve.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: The Indians reel off four consecutive points and they pull away right after the interval.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Oh nothing to separate these two pairs at the moment apart from that point on paper. Soh-Chia make it 10-10 thanks to a winner Chia after a long rally. But the Indians take the next point and have a one-point lead at the rbeak.

Paris Olympics 2024 Day 6 Live Updates: Allright then, sit tight, matches between these two pairs have tended to be quite spectacular in the last two years. Chia serves, Rankireddy receives. The Malaysian faults and the Indians take the first point and serve.
