As the junior tournament reached its climactic stage, there was a bit of bad luck for Sathwika as she hurt her shoulder. However, there was no taking away credit from Sabhyata as she used a good range of groundstrokes to force a win.<\/p>\n
There was yet one more upset in the same section when second seed Shivani Ingle made too many mistakes and lost her quarter-final to Akanksha Bhan. Akanksha won 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 with the final set being a rout. The other two girls to win their quarter-finals in under-16 girls were Mahak Jain and Prinkle Singh.<\/p>\n
In Boys’ Under-16, for the first time top seed Parikshit Somani was tested as he needed to dig out extra potent strokes to prevail over Sivadeep Kosaraju 6-4, 7-5 in the quarter-finals. Adil Kalyanpur, the second seed, walked through to a smooth 6-4, 6-2 win against Yugal Bansal. Third and Fourth seed Siidhanth Bhatia and Nitin Sinha also booked their last four berths.<\/p>\n
In the Girls Under-14 event, top seed Prinkle Singh was at the receiving end as she was caught unaware by Sharannaya Gaware, with the latter winning 6-3, 6-3. Shreya Gulia, seed two, defeated Muskan Gupta 1-6, 7-5, 6-4. The third seed Mehak Jain had an easy outing in the quarter finals and beat Shaikh Humera 6-1,6-1.<\/p>\n
