Indian men bow to Chinese supremacy in quarterfinals

New Delhi, September 27, 2015: In a rare feat, India’s men paddlers posted a 3-2 come-from-behind win over hosts Thailand to enter the champion division of the Asian Table Tennis Championships, only to lose to top-seed Chinese 3-0 in the quarterfinals at Pattaya (Thailand) today.

Now the Indians will have to meet Singapore next in 5-8 position matchestomorrow while Iran, who lost 0-3 to Japan in the quarters, will play Hong Kong. The winners of the two matches play 5-6 positions and losers’ 7-8 ties. Iran had posted a 3-2 win over North Korea in first division.

After all their hard work in the first division, it was a huge task against the champion side China that has the Olympic and world champions in their ranks and the Indians went down without a whimper. Xu Zin beat Harmeet Desai 11-9, 11-9, 11-3, Zhang Jike outsmarted G. Sathiyan 11-5, 11-3, 11-4 and Fan Zhendong accounted for Soumyajit Ghosh 11-6, 11-7, 11-8.

In the morning, the Indian men comfortably beat Uzbekistan 3-0 with Harmeet Desai beating Zokhid Kenjaev 3-0, Soumyajit Ghosh accounting for Elmurod Holikov 3-0 and G. Sathiyan following it up with straight games win over Gennadiy Levchenko.

But they had a major hurdle in Thailand with the entire crowd backing and as it turned out, both Gosh and Sharath Kamal, who was playing his first match in five months, started on a dreadful note possible, giving no hope to India.

Padasak Tanviriyavechakul began on a whirlwind fashion against Ghosh winning the first two games before Ghosh won the third. But a fluent Padasak was way ahead of the Indian as the former won 11-6, 1-9, 8-11, 11-4. All the pressure was on Sharath, the top-ranked Indian in the world at No. 52, who next took on Pattaratom Passara. It was a struggle for supremacy as Sharath won one and lost one as at the end of the fourth game it was 2-2. In the decider, Passara utilized the chances well and won 7-11, 11-9, 7-11, 11-9, 11-7.

From a no-win situation, Harmeet Desai brought India back in the match when he beat Chanakam Udomsilp 11-7, 11-9, 5-11, 11-9. This gave a flicker of hope as Sharath downed the top Thai player, Padasak in extended points game of 13-11, 12-10, 10-12, 14-12. Then it was left to Ghosh to take their No. 2 player, Passara. And the national champion won the decider 11-8, 11-9, 11-6, particularly the last game with a lot to spare.

But India’s women team was not as lucky as they went down to hosts in the semifinals 3-0 and will now play the 9-10 position match tomorrow against the Philippines, who lost to North Korea 0-3.

Earlier in the morning, Nanthana Komwong gave Thailand the perfect start by beating Mouma Das (11-9, 11-4, 13-11), she was followed by Suthasini Sawettabut who accounted for Manika Batra (10-12, 12-10, 14-12, 11-5), before Orawan Paranang brought matters to a conclusion by overcoming Ankita Das (11-8, 11-6, 7-11, 11-7).

Nisha stars in Haryana win, NCC show their intentions

 Haryana vs Tamil Nadu

New Delhi, September 17, 2015: Even as the girls from Haryana’s Senior Higher Secondary School scored a convincing 5-2 triumph over Tamil Nadu’s St Mary’s High Secondary School, showing their continued dominance in the Junior Girls (Under-17) Subroto Cup Football Tournament, the 56th edition saw another strong contender emerging in 14 Battalion NCC squad from Imphal, who thumped a hapless Army Public School, Noida, 8-0 at the Ambedkar Stadium here today.

With the first set of quarterfinals slated for this Saturday, it will be interesting to watch both the Haryana and Manipur, if and when they came face to face during the knockout phase. But that is a scenario possible latter.

For now, how the Haryana girls, especially their captain Nisha Bagoria took it upon herself to help the Rewari team emerge winners on the day against a tough Tamil Nadu outfit. Both teams had a tight defence and excellent midfield working in close coordination. Yet what made the difference between winning and losing was Nisha, the quick-footed striker who accounted for three of her team’s goals, one in the first half and two in the second session.

Nisha wishes to play for the country and has the potential to do that in the near future. The youngest in the family, she had a lot of convincing to do before her parent let her pursue the sport. The girl has 13 goals in her kitty from the two matches she had played so far.

Earlier, Varsha paved the way for a smooth passage bit hitting the target twice in the sixth minute and 32nd minute. Given the support that the Rewari girls got from teammates, it must be said K. Rasika of St Mary’s had to be the lone torch-bearer for her side. Whenever the ball came in her possession, she was able to make it count. But she would have wished the ball had come to her more often.

As for the NCC girls from Manipur, they played like true professionals and it was visible right from the moment they stepped on the field. Though W Raj Bala Devi was the team’s star cast with five goals, including one during injury time in the 61 st minute, it TH Premita Devi (2) who gave the grand start in the fifteenth minute. From where it was Raj Bala Devi’s show even as S. Thoibi Devi slotted one in the 40th minute.

Raja Bala sprang into action in the second half opening with a goal in the 32nd minute. Her powerful grounder brooked no challenge from the rival goalkeeper. Then it became a routine affair for the striker who scored two minutes later and then in the 52nd and 54th before winding up with her fifth goal in the closing minutes. All the while the Noida outfit was a mute spectator unable to thwart the opponent’s surge towards them.

In this mayhem unleashed by both Haryana and Manipur teams, there was a sober kind of football between SAM GMR Sports School, Kerala, and Mamta Rukhmani Sewa Sangh, Chhattisgarh. Probably, the two teams were more worried about their safety than indulging in hardcore football. So much so, the teams preferred to play ball against one another and not press hard for the goals.  Yet, the Chhattisgarh team managed to score once in the 47th minute through Kritika for full points. And when the Kerala girls did press after being in arrears, it was too late in the day as Chhattisgarh stoutly defended their citadel.

In last match at Ambedkar Stadium, Delhi NCR’s Rashtriya Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya defeated Sarla Bhupendranath Sarkar High School (West Bengal) 2-0. The one-sided match saw Pampa (18^th minute) and Sunita (25) scoring for the winners.

Sainik boys scrape through: In the Under-14 Sub-Junior Boys section, Sainik School (Imphal) defeated Don Bosco High School, Panjim 3-2 at the NWC ground in the morning. The Imphal outfit struck all their goals in the first session itself with D. Mowarson opening the scoring in the first minute itself. He was followed by Jebeth Dousel (9) and Wronra (16).

When the teams resumed soon after break, the Goan side reduced margin through Shanon in the 28th minute and again in the 38th minute through Alger. But their desperate efforts to draw the match never fructified, thanks to a solid defence in the closing minutes of the Imphal side.

Siddesh, Archana crowned champions at India Open

Indore, September 12, 2015: The new-found confidence helped Siddesh Pande outwit top-ranked Manav Thakkar 4-2 in the Junior Boys singles final, thus denying the latter a double-gold treat in the 11Even Sports 2015 India Junior and Cadet Open Table Tennis Championships at the Abhay Prashal here today. Archana Kamath Giri, despite a threat, held on to win the Junior Girls crown when she beat Serala Jacob 4-3.

The Surat boy, who also holds both the national titles, had to be satisfied with the Cadet Boys title. Earlier, Manav had lost the Junior Boys doubles which the Saudi pair claimed.

Manav, leading 2-0, lost his cool and Siddesh making most of the situation made one of the finest comebacks in a final to make the contest a one-sided affair. Siddesh, using the flanks well, executed measures shots which brooked no challenge from the national champion. The sixth game exemplified the domination by Siddesh who led throughout. In fact, Manav got his first point, courtesy a service fault by his opponent. After that he could earn only two more points before Siddesh shutting him out with a lucky point as the ball hit the net to stay in.  

Junior national champion Archana Kamath had to really fight to survive as Seraha Jacob, with excellent backhand execution, matched stroke for stroke in the final. When Archana went 3-2 up, it looked as if the title was just a few points away as she had run up a 5-0 lead in the sixth game. But credit must go to Seraha who, despite being at disadvantage, made it 5-5 and then, for the first time, went 8-7 up. From there, she could not be stopped and the match went into the last game.

In the decider, Archana led 3-0, but Seraha was not the one to give up easily. She fought and fought well to put some suspicion into her rival’s mind when she made it 8-all. Couple of Seraha’s shot hit the net and Archana, seizing the opportunity, wound up quickly with some good forehands to the relief of her parents in the gallery.

But it was a fitting final with both players attacked and the match had several good, long rallies and witnessed wonderful placing from Seraha. If she only had a good forehand, matching with that of her backhand, the title was Seraha’s.  

Manav, Prapti win

Both Manav Thakkar and Prapti Sen, who claimed the Cadet crowns, would not have expected such easy finals as their opponents hardly made the winners sweat. The flow was perfect for both, though Shaurya Pednekar manage to extend Manav a bit in the third game of the final. However, Manav won on his second championship-point when Shaurya returned Manav’s service for the second time to send the ball sailing over with a perfect kill.

Seraha upsets Akula

Earlier, top-ranked Sreeja Akula was sent packing by No. 3 ranked Seraha Jacob in Junior Girls semifinals. Seraha, who was on a very good touch, outwitted Sreeja, who just about managed to win a game in the best-of-seven match. Seraha, who also won the doubles with state mate Maria Rony in the morning against Archana-Priyanka combine, continued her form unleashing an onslaught on Sreeja straightaway to run up with a 2-0 lead. The third game went Sreeja’s way but she could not come to terms with Seraha’s excellent service and wonderful forehand play.

In Cadet Girls, Srushti Haleangadi could not repeat yesterday’s form and went down to Prapti Sen in the semifinals. Prapti made most of her opponent’s error-prone game to move up.

In Junior Boys double, Ali Alkhadrawi and Abdulaziz Shulaybi from Saudi Arabia beat the stuffing out of Indian pair Sanish Ambekar and Ravindra Kotiyan, avenging their defeat in team final on the second day. The Saudi duo had complete control and covered the flanks and angles well to outsmart the Indians. This win fetched them their first gold while they already have a team silver. Incidentally, these were the only two medals that went the visitors’ way in what was a complete Indian sweep of medals across all sections.
