Ram Charan Teja Akula and Shanvi Reddy Nimma won the boys’ and girls’ singles titles at the 12th Telangana State Sub-Junior (Under-13) Badminton Championship on Sunday. The tournament was held at A Zone Elite Badminton Academy in Serilingampally, Hyderabad.
In the boys’ final, Ram Charan Teja defeated Deepak Naidu Gunishetty 4-3 after his opponent retired due to injury. Shanvi Reddy beat Saina Sharma 15-7, 15-11 to claim the girls’ title. Mokshagna Surpur and Venkat Yerneni won the boys’ doubles; M. Sai Komerally and Vedhitha Reddy won the girls’ doubles.
State-level sub-junior tournaments get little attention, but they are where future champions first learn to handle pressure. The retirement of Deepak Naidu mid-match is a reminder that young athletes need better injury prevention and recovery support, not just medals. How many of these 64 players will get structured coaching beyond their district academies? That number, tracked over five years, will tell us if the system is working.
