Deepika Kumari advanced into the quarter finals after beating Netherlands’ Quinty Roeffen in the round of 16. Deepika won the first round by shooting two perfect 10s and a 9. Quinty who is only 18 years old retaliated in the second round by shooting two perfect 10s and a 9. In addition to this Deepika managed to shoot three 9s consequently giving away the second round to Quinty. Young Quinty made some gruesome mistakes in the following rounds where she totally missed the target scoring zero in one out of three shots. On the other hand Deepika also lost some points in the third round but it wasn’t going to do any good to Quinty. In the best of five Deepika Kumari won three rounds scoring 6 points.
