At the Syed Modi International Super 300, World Junior Championships silver medallists Tanvi Sharma and Manraj Singh pulled off some incredible performance, defeating former world champion Nozomi Okuhara and HS Prannoy, respectively, to move on to the quarterfinals on Thursday.
The 16-year-old Tanvi, who made it to the US Open Super 300 final earlier this year, made a fantastic comeback to stun the second seed Okuhara 13-21 21-16 21-19 in a thrilling match that lasted 59 minutes.
The day’s surprises continued when Manraj, 19 year old, defeated Prannoy, the bronze medallist from the 2023 World Championships, 21-15, 21-18, in just 43 minutes.
Mithun Manjunath defeated sixth seed Tharun Mannepalli 21-16 17-21 21-17 in another all-Indian second-round match, while top seed Unnati Hooda also guaranteed her place in the quarterfinals with a strong 21-15 21-10 victory over Tasnim Mir.
Unnati will go up against seventh seed Rakshitha Sree Santhosh Ramraj, who narrowly defeated Devika Sihag 16-21 21-19 21-17, while Mithun is set to face Manraj, who earlier this year won the Uganda International Challenge and the Iran Fajr International Challenge, in the quarterfinals.
Former world No.1 Kidambi Srikanth, the silver medallist from the 2021 World Championships, easily defeated Saneeth Dayanand 21-6 21-16, setting up a quarterfinal match against Priyanshu Rajawat, who triumphed over BM Rahul Bharadwaj 21-16 10-21 21-12 in a tough battle.
