ASTANA (Kazakhstan): India wrapped up their campaign at the Asian Table Tennis Championships with three medals, including a historic bronze in the women’s doubles, after Ayhika Mukherjee and Sutirtha Mukherjee<\/a>‘s dream run ended in the semifinals on Sunday.
The world No. 15 pair, who stunned the reigning world champions from China en route to a bronze at the Asian Games last year, fell to Japan’s Miwa Harimoto and Miyuu Kihara, 4-11, 9-11, 8-11 in under 30 minutes in their last-four clash.
Prior to that, the Indian duo had defeated South Korea’s Kim Nayeong and Lee Eunhye in the quarterfinals to secure India’s first-ever women’s doubles medal at the Asian meet.
The Indian women’s team had earlier clinched a historic bronze in the team event.
The trio of Manika Batra<\/a>, Ayhika Mukherjee, and Sutirtha Mukherjee secured the country’s first-ever medal in the women’s team category since the competition began in 1972, though they eventually lost 1-3 to Japan in the semifinals.
In the men’s category, India secured another bronze, their third straight in the tournament, after the team of Achanta Sharath Kamal<\/a>, Manav Thakkar<\/a>, and Harmeet Desai<\/a> fell 0-3 to Chinese Taipei in the semifinals.
In men’s singles, Manav Thakkar and Manush Shah bowed out in the pre-quarterfinals.
World No. 60 Thakkar, who had earlier shocked world No. 14 Jang Woojin of South Korea, was defeated by Hong Kong’s Baldwin Chan, 4-11, 4-11, 8-11.
Meanwhile, Manush put up a tough fight against Lin Yun-Ju of Chinese Taipei and took two games before narrowly losing 8-11, 5-11, 11-7, 11-6, 12-14.<\/div>\n
