U-19 Girls groups wrap up, as knockout stage beckons

New Delhi, Sep 8 (UNI) With 52 of the 53 group winners in the Under-19 Girls’ category already sealing their places in the knockout draw of the second UTT National Ranking Table Tennis Championships at the Thyagaraj Stadium, all eyes will be on Group 2 tomorrow.
That’s where Divyanshi Bhowmick, riding high after her golden doubles triumph in the Under-15 category with Tamil Nadu’s Ananya Muralidharan in the WTT Youth Star Contender Skopje (Macedonia), is expected to wrap up proceedings.
Divyanshi will play back-to-back matches against Diva Ahuja of Haryana and Mohana Shree of Pondicherry. While these contests are essentially a formality given her current form and confidence, she still needs to complete the task on the table.
