El contendiente estrella Manav Thakkar/Manush Shah WTT sale de las semifinales de Doha, todos los ojos puestos en Sreeja Akula

Después de hacer historia un día antes al convertirse en la primera pareja india en avanzar a las semifinales de un evento WTT Star Contender, Manav Thakkar y Manush Shah abandonaron el WTT Star Contender Doha a última hora del jueves. El número 10 del mundo se retiró ante el segundo clasificado Xu Yingbin y Xiang Peng de China. […]

After creating history just a day prior, by becoming the first Indian pair to make it the semis of a WTT Star Contender Event, Manav Thakkar and Manush Shah exited the WTT Star Contender Doha, late on Thursday. The World No. 10 bowed down to the second-seeded Chinese pair of Xu Yingbin and Xiang Peng, 9-11, 11-7, 1-11, 11-8, 7-11, but not before giving them a tough fight.

It is important to note that Manav Thakkar-Manush Shah were seeded third in the competition, and have slowly risen the ranks, in the past year or so. Earlier, they went past the Hong Kong’s team of Kwan Man Ho and Lam Siu Hang 3-0 in the quarter-finals. With this, the campaign for India in doubles came to an end.

But this is not the end of the campaign for India overall in the WTT Star Contender Doha. Sreeja Akula is still alive in the women’s single competition, and will play her pre-quarters match on Friday, vs Qian Tianvi. Earlier, she went past Jieni Shao of Portugal to reach the last 16.

But so far, for the singles players, this has not been the greatest of tournaments. Manav Thakkar had lost his singles match in round of 32, vs Japan’s Sora Matsushima 7-11, 7-11, 8-11. The most popular paddler in the country, Manika Batra also exited in the first round, after she lost to Britt Eerland 1-4.
