Ahmedabad, June 7 (NationPress) After two weeks of fierce competition, two teams — U Mumba TT and Kolkata ThunderBlades — are set to clash for the coveted UTT Juniors trophy at the EKA Arena this coming Sunday, June 8.
Representing the Mumbai team are Prateek Tulsani and Ananya Muralidharan, who will go head-to-head against Ritvik Gupta and Swara Karmakar from the Kolkata side.
In the first semifinal, U Mumba TT secured their spot in the final after overcoming the Jaipur Patriots, despite an initial setback as Trishul Surapureddy defeated Prateek 2-1 in the boys' singles. However, Prateek and Ananya quickly regrouped in the mixed doubles, winning decisively against Trishul and teammate Shreya Dhar with a score of 3-0. Ananya then clinched victory in her girls' singles match against Shreya, ensuring U Mumba TT’s progression to the final.
Meanwhile, the Kolkata ThunderBlades triumphed over the Dempo Goa Challengers in a nail-biting second semifinal. Ritvik narrowly edged past Sahil Rawat with a close 2-1 victory. Although the Goa team managed to level the score in mixed doubles with a 2-1 win led by Sahil and Aarya Redkar, Swara Karmakar's straight-sets victory over Aarya in the girls' singles sealed the deal and secured their final berth.
