Indian Campaign Ends

Singapore: India's campaign at the inaugural WTT 2022 Grand Smash Singapore came to an end after Manika Batra and Archana Kamath's exit from the women's doubles quarter-fials, here on Tuesday.

The pair of Batra and Kamath, who got a bye in the round of 32, beat Singapore's Goi Rui Xuan and Wong Xin Ru 3-2 in the round of 16 to set up a quarters clash against Japanese second seeds Hina Hayata and Mima Ito.

Against Hayata and Ito, a two-time world championships silver medal-winning team, the Indian table tennis pair put up little resistance and went down 0-3 (11-7, 11-4, 11-8). Notbaly, Batra and Kamath were the last remaining Indians at the Singapore meet. The 26-year old Batra, who exited the singles competition in the first round, had also made the mixed doubles quarters with Sathiyan Gnanasekaran but lost, an olympics.com report said.
