Guwahati, November 20, 2015: Manush Shah of Gujarat and Prapti Sen of West Bengal won titles in the
Sub-Junior Boys and Sub-Junior Girls sections, respectively, in the National
Ranking (East Zone) Table Tennis Championships which concluded at the
Deshbakhta Tarunram Phukan Indoor Stadium here today.
Manush Shah blanked out Alberto Lrruata of PSPBA 4-0 and
Prapti Sen defeated Manushree Patil of Maharashtra
4-2 for their second titles this season.
The final between Manush and Alberto was disappointing
because one expected the PSPBA boy to put up some resistance. However, Manush
did not have to shed a drop of sweat as he wound it up much earlier than one
would have anticipated.
In fact, Prapti who began the season with the title at
Chennai ended it nicely by adding the second crown here to her resume. Prapti
had a healthy 2-0 lead and it helped her in more ways than one as the onus was
on Manushree, who had won back-to-back titles at Jamnagar and Thane.
The girl
from Maharashtra did well to take the next but once again the West
Bengal girl consolidated her lead which put extra pressure on
Manushree. It was very much evident, particularly in the sixth game, which went
into deuce twice before Prapti putting it across to seal her opponent’s fate.
But Manushree should not feel disheartened because she has really made a mark
with the two titles and arriving on the scene.
Earlier during the morning session, Alberto Lrruata of PSPBA
and Manush Shah of Gujarat entered the final beating their rivals Jayabrata
Bhattacharjee of West Bengal 4-1 and Shivjit Singh Lamba of Delhi 4-0, respectively without a problem.
In fact the Delhi
boy had to play really well in the quarterfinals against a determined PSPBA boy
Sameer Pandey which the former won 3-2. That’s were Lamba lost all his energy
and could not do justice against a rampaging Maush Shah, who has a title this
year. As for Jayabrata, he was very patchy and it was visible in the
semifinals. He, had, however inflicted a similar verdict on Shakreja Gourang of
Haryana in the quarters.
Ishita, Tanisi miss chances
Even the girls’ semifinals had turned out to be a one-sided
affair with Maharashtra’s Manushree Patil blanking out state mate Aditi Sinha
4-0 and West Bengal’s Prapti Sen accounting for her North
Bengal rival Nikita Sarkar 4-1. But Prapti had to play out of her
skin to beat Goa ’s Tanisi Kirtani 3-2 in the
quarterfinals. Tanisi, who managed to level after being 0-2 down, could not
cope with the pressure in the decider. Delhi ’s
Ishita Gupta, who had won the North Zone title at Delhi , could not repeat her form and bowed
out 2-3 to Aditi Sinha. Ishita had her chances in the decider but squandered
two match-points to lose the game 13-15.
