But the Pune girl had her moments during the final, particularly when she managed to catch the Spaniard on the wrong foot in the in the last three games.<\/p>\n<p>However, the superiority of the Spaniard in backhand jabs and scorching smashes off the forehand brooked little challenge from the Indian.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, Divya who lost to Galila of Egypt in stage 1 qualification, finished No. 2 in the group to make it to the main draw where she first beat Dina Meshref, also from Egypt, 12-10, 11-9, 8-11,6-11, 11-8, 9-11, 14-12 to qualify for the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n<p>In the quarterfinals, she accounted for compatriot K.

The reigning national champion had a bad day in office like the men paddlers\u2014Soumyadeep Sanil Shetty, Jubin Kumar and G. Sathiyan\u2014all of whom could not go beyond the round of 16.<\/p>\n<p>But then after strings of disappointment, India had something to cheer about when G. Sathiyan downed Mohammed Shouman of Egypt 11-8, 11-5, 11-7, 6-11, 10-12, 11-7 in the final to win the Under-21 boys singles title.<\/p>\n<p>Sathiyan, who was seeded No. 2 here justified his billing and became the second Indian after Harmeet Desai to win the U-21 boys singles title.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Indian Sports News Network<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"images\/tennis\/00-deshpande-tt.jpg\" alt=\"Egypt Open: Divya Deshpande goes down in finals\" width=\"200\" style=\"margin: 6px; float: left;\" \/>New Delhi<\/strong>: India\u2019s Divya Deshpande had to content herself with the runners-up trophy at the after she lost to Sara Ramirez of Spain in the finals of the Egypt Open in Cairo.<\/p>\n<p>Divya who had earlier created history by becoming first Indian women paddler to make it to the finals of the World Pro Tour went down the Spaniard 1-4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[6877,3593,466,407,6878,5959],"class_list":["post-10694","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-latest","tag-cairo-open","tag-divya-deshpande","tag-indian-sports-news","tag-k-shamini","tag-poulumi-ghatak","tag-sara-ramirez"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Egypt Open: Divya Deshpande goes down in finals - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/?p=10694\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Egypt Open: Divya Deshpande goes down in finals - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"New Delhi: India\u2019s Divya Deshpande had to content herself with the runners-up trophy at the after she lost to Sara Ramirez of Spain in the finals of the Egypt Open in Cairo.Divya who had earlier created history by becoming first Indian women paddler to make it to the finals of the World Pro Tour went down the Spaniard 1-4.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/indiansportsnews.co.in\/?p=10694\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp; Sports Blogs of Cricket, Hockey, Golf, Football, Tennis &amp; Other Sports\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2012-10-09T11:47:16+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/indiansportsnews.co.in\\\/?p=10694#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/indiansportsnews.co.in\\\/?p=10694\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/indiansportsnews.co.in\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/b8f51f3c66686ab3518464e9b8368646\"},\"headline\":\"Egypt Open: Divya Deshpande goes down in finals\",\"datePublished\":\"2012-10-09T11:47:16+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/indiansportsnews.co.in\\\/?p=10694\"},\"wordCount\":357,\"commentCount\":0,\"keywords\":[\"cairo open\",\"Divya Deshpande\",\"Indian Sports News\",\"K.
