India's national table tennis coach, Massimo Constantini, has emphasized the importance of Indian paddlers to excel at the Olympics. He believes that Indian paddlers need to be on top of their game, test themselves in difficult situations, and learn to handle pressure and perform under demanding circumstances. Constantini is pleased with the performance of Manika Batra and Sreeja Akula at the Paris Games, where India had two singles players competing in the pre-quarterfinals.
