Ranchi (Jharkhand) [India], July 28 (ANI): World No.1 Deepika Kumari might have won her two matches in the ongoing Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday, but her sister Vidya reckons that Deepika has still not played to her full potential yet.
"Deepika Didi has won both her matches today, however, she still has not played to her full potential, I just hope she gives her best performance in the coming matches. She has played a lot of matches, you also have seen her games so you would also have noticed the difference," Deepika's sister Vidya told reporters here in Ranchi.
"Our best wishes are with her. We are just praying that she wins her remaining matches, we are confident that she will return with a medal," she added.
