So, 3 Indians are in SF.

[SF] Siril VERMA (IND,237) vs. Anatoliy YARTSEV (RUS,200)

[SF] (4) GADDE Ruthvika Shivani (IND,69) vs. (2) Ksenia POLIKARPOVA (RUS,59)

[SF] (2) Pranaav Jerry CHOPRA / REDDY N. Sikki (IND) vs. Anatoliy YARTSEV / Evgeniya KOSETSKAYA (RUS)

It has been a really good run by 17 year old Siril Verma who had done well in world junior championships if i recall correctly.

He is still 16yrs old actually. He will turn 17 in december. Good to see him playing in the seniors unlike many other Indian juniors.

Damn, from 17-14 up Siril lost the second game 19-21. Zulfadli was a junior world champion in 2011 while Siril was world junior runner up in 2015. . But, the Malaysian is much older at 23 against 16 year old Siril.

Overall, a great show for us here with 2 titles and 1 runner up and promise shown by Ruthvika ( first GP title ) and Siril augurs well for the future.

So, no third consecutive title for Ajay.
