The Story in Brief
Tanvi Sharma, Ashmita Chaliha and Rakshitha Sree Santhosh Ramraj entered the Korea Masters Super 300 quarterfinals on Thursday. Third seed Tanvi, 17, beat compatriot Shriyanshi Valishetty 21-16, 17-21, 21-13 in 57 minutes. Rakshitha defeated Japan’s Manami Suizu 22-20, 21-10, while Ashmita beat South Korea’s Kim Min Ji 21-17, 21-6. Tanvi will face Rakshitha next, and Ashmita will meet top seed Hina Akechi of Japan. India’s men’s doubles pair Krishna Prasad Garaga and Pruthvi Krishnamurthy Roy also reached the last eight. India exited the mixed and women’s doubles, while Anmol Kharb, Mansi Singh and Isharani Baruah lost in singles.
The Indian Opinion
The lazy claim that one Taipei Open title has already made Tanvi India’s next badminton certainty should be resisted. Equally, early defeats for several Indians do not prove the system is failing. The useful evidence is narrower: three women’s singles players have reached the last eight, while doubles depth remains thin. Friday’s matches, and the number of Indians reaching the semifinals, will offer a fairer measure.
