Re: Indian Table Tennis Thread ...
Manika Batra has been excluded from the Indian team for the Asian TT Championships because she did not attend the mandatory camp. I never understood what these camps achieve. Manika has gone to the Delhi HC asking to be included in the team. Read more here:

For the time being the court has stayed the TTFI rules. Difficult to say what happens next!

Manika Batra and Archana Kamath won the doubles title at WTT Contender tournament in Lasko, Slovenia. Noticeably, they beat a Chinese pair in the SF. Also in singles Manika lost against world #11 Chinese player after a decent fight.

Re: Indian Table Tennis Thread ...
They go better now.
They have reached final at this week's WTT contender tournament at Doha.
Achantha Sharath Kamal has moved into singles SF too. This guy is close to 40 now. Quite amazing that he does this well at that age.

Re: Indian Table Tennis Thread ...
Not quite sure. It may be possible that some of the top Chinese or other Asian pairs are not playing enough to get a high enough ranking.

Re: Indian Table Tennis Thread ...
Some really good results by our singles players at Star contender tournament in Doha.
Both Sathiyan and Manika are thru to PQF with 2 good wins.
37th ranked Sathiyan beat 57th ranked Spaniard in first round and upset 17th ranked Swede Mattias Falck in the second round.
48th ranked Manika beat 34th ranked Chinese in first round and beat 27th ranked German-Chinese in second round.
Both have so far done better than their ranking. Hope they win at least a round more.

Still they are showing improvement in his game.
