Both the promising city shuttlers, Malvika Bansod and Ritika Thaker, had to bow out of the competition in the semifinals despite performing brilliantly at the Pullela Gopichand Academy in Hyderabad on Saturday.
Giant-killer Malvika went down fighting against sixth seed Vaishnavi Reddy Jakka in three games. The 12th seed city southpaw, who knocked out two higher ranked seeded players on Friday, started off well and pocketed the first game 21-15. However, the Hyderabadi girl bounced back in the next two games to shatter the hopes of Centre Point School, Dabha, student.
Similarly, Ritika Thaker also suffered a heart-shattering defeat in the U-15 girls doubles semis. The top seeded pair of Ritika and Simran Singhi (Mumbai Suburban) began well and claimed the opening game against No. 8 seed duo of A Akshita (Andhra Pradesh)-Himanshi Rawat (Uttarakhand). Ritika-Simran lost the next game (1-1) but were in control in the decider. However, few errors at the crucial moments proved costly for the top seeds.
The pair of Ritika and Simran, who received a special award during the prize distribution ceremony, had triumphed at the last All India sub-junior ranking tournament at Tirupur, a couple of months ago.
RESULTS (Semifinals)
U-15 girls singles: 12-Malvika Bansod lost to 6-Vaishnavi Reddy Jakka 21-15, 15-21, 13-21. U-15 girls doubles: 1-Ritika Thaker-Simran Singhi lost to 8-A Akshita-Himanshi Rawat 21-17, 10-21, 25-27.
