Uttarakhand’s Dhruv Negi beat Rajasthan’s Pranay Katta 20-18, 14-16, 15-11 in the final to clinch the Yonex-Sunrise All India Senior Ranking badminton tournament men’s singles title at the Jawaharlal Nehru indoor stadium here on Thursday.
The 20-year-old’s triumph was his maiden senior men’s singles title.
In the women’s final, Haryana’s Jiya Rawat defeated Andhra Pradesh’s M. Tanishq 15-12, 15-10 to claim the title.
The tournament also threw up a few surprises. Tamil Nadu’s mixed doubles specialist K. Sathish Kumar suffered a quarterfinal exit to an unseeded Kerala pair. Reigning Asian u-17 champion S.R. Diksha and Sadhana Fenelon, a bronze medallist at last week’s National Ranking tournament in Kochi, also bowed out early in the women’s singles.
The championship was also without two leading international shuttlers - reigning National men’s singles champion Rithvik Sanjeevi and former junior World No. 1 Sankar Muthusamy - who were away on international duty.
Former Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) president Ashok Sigamani and Tamil Nadu Badminton Association (TNBA) secretary Ve. Arunachalam presented the prizes.
