Kochi: <\/strong>The top-ranked players in all categories had very little difficulty in putting it across their opponents in the first two rounds of the New India Assurance 73rd Cadet and Sub-junior National Table Tennis Championships here at the Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium on Saturday.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There were, however, some surprises as some of the additional entries\u2014not selected directly by the state associations\u2014made waves and gave some harrowing time for the much-famed names in the Cadet and sub-boys junior sections. Even the girls\u2019 events in both the categories had a few long-drawn matches going to the wire.<\/p>\n

For instance, the match between Delhi\u2019s Aryan Khandelwal and Rishab Sachdeva of Haryana went to the wire and the Haryana boy clinched it in his favour with a 13-11, 13-11, 11-3, 11-2, 11-5 verdict. Manipur\u2019s L. Poireiton extended Vishnu Pranav of Karnataka before bowing out 5-11, 7-11, 18-16, 13-11, 4-11. Kerala\u2019s Majrul Islam lost his first round match to Shobhit Dangwal of Uttrakhand after putting up a great resistance. The Uttrakhand boy ultimately won 11-6, 3-11, 12-10, 8-11, 11-7.<\/p>\n

The boys from Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and the PSPBA did exceedingly well to keeping their top billing while the girls from Rajasthan, Maharashtra B and Andhra Pradesh kept momentum going their way. In fact, the Cadet girls\u2019 matches were mostly one-sided except for a few that went to the fourth game.\u00a0 Two of Gujarat girls were stretched fully with their opponents giving a good fight. Gujarat\u2019s Isha Maisuria met her match against Manipur\u2019s Priyanka who went down fighting 11-7, 8-11, 4-11, 11-4, 6-11 and Isha\u2019s teammate Sanjana Choksi struggle against Assam\u2019s Biswarupa Bania with the former winning 11-5, 6-11, 10-12, 11-3, 6-11.<\/p>\n

In the sub-junior girls category, the entire set of matches turned out to be mere formality for the higher-ranked players. They easily moved into the second round. However, Preeti Yadav of Rajasthan had to bring out all her experiences to the fore when she finally downed Disha Gupta of Karantaka 8-11, 11-8, 7-11, 11-6, 11-9. <\/p>\n

The script in the sub-junior boys section was no different with the top seeds just mowing down their opponents in the first round. With over 600 entries in both singles and doubles in all the sections, the matches are expected go beyond 9 p.m. to complete the three rounds tonight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
