Indian paddler Bhavina Patel’s impressive run at the Tokyo Paralympics 2020 came to an end as she suffered a 0-3 (7-11, 5-11, 6-11) loss to World No 1 Chinese paddler Ying Zhou in the women's singles class 4 final. The 34-year-old, however, scripted history by signing off with a silver medal in her maiden Olympics.
