Poulomi, Indu and Mantu upset

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI DEC. 10. Favourite Poulomi Ghatak was among the top four seeds who bowed out of the women's singles quarterfinals of the National ranking (North Zone) table tennis championship here on Wednesday.

Ghatak surrendered to the seasoned Anindita Chakraborty even as second seed N. R. Indu and fourth seed Mantu Ghosh joined her on the casualty list.

In the men's section, top seed Sarath Kamal made the semifinals with a commanding victory over Arunava Ganguly, who had prevailed over eighth seed Amit Das in the pre-quarterfinals. Arup Basak's victory over Ranbir Das came earlier than expected when the fourth seed chose to withdraw in the third game. Anirban Nandy, seeded six, got the better of third seed Shubham Choudhary while Soumyadeep Roy had to fight all the way to survive a fright from Prithviraj Bose.

Later in the evening, second seed Shandilya Nag captured the sub-junior boys title at beating unseeded S. S. Chaudhary. Similarly, Neha Agarwal, seeded two, pulled off the final two games to take the sub-junior girls title at the expense of top seed Divya Deshpande.
