PANAJI: Manika Batra and Sutirtha Mukherjee could no longer continue with their heroics against higher-ranked opponents as India’s challenge at the WTT Star Contender ended in the pre-quarters.
The Indian duo found their opponents too hot to handle.
Sutirtha just could not get going against former European champion FU Yu as she lost in straight games (5-11, 7-11, 5-11), while Batra showed flashes of the brilliance that has made her a household name but succumbed to the might of Chinese World No. 20 Qian Tianyi 1-3 (6-11, 3-11, 11-9, 7-11).
Batra and Sutirtha had made it to the last-16 after scripting some remarkable victories.
