Sharath enters main draw

New Delhi: A. Sharath Kamal was the lone Indian to qualify for the singles main draw of the Japan Open ITTF Pro-Tour table tennis championship at Chiba.

Sharath won all his group matches to advance to the main draw. He first beat Denmark’s Sternberg Kasper 11-4, 17-15, 11-8, 11-9 and then rallied from a two-game deficit to defeat Japan’s Matsudaira Kenta 10-12, 3-11, 11-6, 11-8, 13-11, 11-9. In his final group match, Sharath put it across Chinese Taipei’s Wang Juo-Lin 11-2, 14-12, 11-7, 11-5.

However, it was disappointment for the rest of the team. Subhajit Saha, Anirban Nandi, Pathik Mehta and Jubin Kumar were among those who failed to qualify. A. Amalraj, Aniket and Jitender Gidla also went out in the qualification rounds. — PTI
