Following an impressive win against colleagues Harmeet Desai and Ayhika Mukherjee (11-2, 11-2, 11-9), Sathiyan Gnanasekaran and Archana Girish Kamath secured the title at the final expense of Singapore’s Pang Yew En Koen and Gi Rui Xuan (11-1, 11-7, 11-4).

Defeat for Pang Yew En Koen but he was the player to cause India the greatest pain. At the quarter-final stage of the men’s singles event, he beat Sharath Kamal Achanta (7-11, 9-11, 11-8, 4-11, 11-9, 11-7, 12-10).

Only Sathiyan Gnanasekaran

A surprise semi-finalist, the Singaporean teenager was not alone; if fact of the top four names only Sathiyan Gnanasekaran booked a penultimate round place. England’s Sam Walker experienced a second round defeat at the hands of the host nation’s Sushmit Sriram (11-8, 14-12, 11-8, 11-4) who in turn suffered at the hands of colleague, Harmeet Desai (11-4, 11-8, 6-11, 11-7, 11-8).

Likewise, there was a second round exit for Australia’s Heming Hu; he was beaten by India’s Sanil Shetty (11-3, 8-11, 14-16, 13-11, 9-11, 11-9, 14-12), who in the very next round departed at the hands of England’s Tom Jarvis (11-5, 11-8, 8-11, 13-11, 12-10).

At the semi-final stage Pang Yew En Koen meets Harmeet Desai, Tom Jarvis confronts, Sathiyan Gnanasekaran, the top seed, the quarter-final winner in opposition to Nigeria’s Bode Abiodun (11-7, 11-8, 11-8, 11-6).

Opposite scenario

Three surprise semi-finalists, in the women’s singles event it was the opposite scenario, three seeded players reached the last four. England’s Tin-Tin Ho, the top seed, progressed courtesy of success against Archana Girish Kamath (11-9, 7-11, 11-5, 11-3, 11-6); likewise India’s Ayhika Mukherjee and Madhurika Patkar both enjoyed quarter-final success at the expense of colleagues. Ayhika Mukherjee accounted for Mousomi Paul (11-6, 11-6, 11-2, 11-8); Madhurika Patkar overcame Sinha Krittwika (11-4, 9-11, 11-8, 12-10, 11-9).

The exception to the rule was Sreeja Akula, also from India; she accounted for colleague, Sutirtha Mukherjee (11-5, 11-5, 11-9, 17-19, 6-11, 17-15) to claim her semi-final places.

In the penultimate round Tin-Tin Ho faces Ayhika Mukherjee, Sreeja Akula confronts Madhurika Patkar.
Semi-finalists known in the men’s singles and women’s singles events; it is the same in the men’s doubles and women’s doubles competitions.

Indian hopes alive

Furthermore, Indian hopes are very much alive and a chance for revenge. In the men’s doubles Sharath Kamal Achanta and Sathiyan Gnanasekaran face Pang Yew En Koen and Singaporean colleague, Josh Chua Shao Han; Amalraj Anthony and Manav Vikash Thakkar confront Tom Jarvis and Sam Walker.

Meanwhile, in the women’s doubles event, the Indian presence is even greater; Sreeja Akula and Mousumi Paul oppose Ayhika Mukherjee and Sutirtha Mukherjee, Pooja Sahasrabudhe and Sinha Krittwika confront Singapore’s Goi Rui Xuan and Wong Xin Ru.
