Good news has been revealed for Indian fans in badminton. Ayush Shetty won the Mains Singles title in the US Open Super 300 tournament by defeating Brian Yang of Canada. Ayush Shetty has won his first BWF World Tour title. Also, this year was the first BWF title of an Indian player at senior level. That is, Ayush has ended the title drought in Indian badminton this year.
Ayush Shetty, ranked number 34 in the world rankings, performed tremendously in the finals and defeated a high-ranked Canadian player 21-18 21-13 in just 47 minutes. Let us know that Ayush Shetty created a sensation by getting top seed in the semi-finals and defeating World No. 6 Chow Tien Chain. Ayush defeated the Chinese Taipei player 21-23, 21-15, 21-14 in the semi-finals.
At the same time, India’s Tanvi Sharma was runner-up in women’s singles. 16-year-old Tanvi lost 11-21, 21-16, 10-21 to the United States Biven Zhang in the final match. Top seed Zhang won the match in 46 minutes. Non -seeded Tanvi was playing her first world tour final.
World No. 66 Tanvi Sharma defeated the seventh seeded Ukraine’s Polina Buharova 21-14 21-16 in the semi-finals. With this, Tanvi became the youngest Indian player to reach the finals of a BWF World Tour event. If Tanvi had won the title, she would have become the youngest Indian to win the BWF World Tour event.
16 -year -old Tanvi Sharma is being compared to two -time Olympic medalist PV Sindhu. Like Sindhu, Tanvi specializes in applying powerful smash on the nets and try an aggressive game plan to dominate the opposition player. Since the performance of PV Sindhu has started declining with the passage of time, Tanvi has emerged as a new hope. Similarly, India has a lot of expectations from Ayush Shetty in Men’s singles.
