Shinta Mulia Sari and Yao Lei

Singapore's shuttlers at the Olympic Games enjoyed a good day in the singles events.

However women's doubles pair Shinta Mulia Sari and Yao Lei's hopes of making the quarter-finals were dealt a blow when they lost to Japan's Mizuki Fujii and Reika Kakiiwa.

They lost 21-16, 10-21, 21-19 after saving three matchpoints in the rubber.

The world No. 13 pair had also lost to Chinese Taipei's Cheng Wen-hsing and Chien Yu-chin the day before.

They need to finish the top two pairs of their group in order to make the knock-out stages. They have one more match in the group stages against India's Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa.
