Arnav Kshirsagar and Ananya Chande have been top seeded in their respective women’s and men’s singles event in the JVPG 5-Star TSTTA District ranking table tennis tournament, which gets underway from today. Ayush Sonawane and Sampada Bhiwandkar are placed behind the top seeds. However , India-ranked Divyanshi Bhowmick, who missed the earlier MCF event, will be a threat to both of them in the women’s as well as girls under-19 singles.
While Khar Gymkhana’s pride and favourite Anana Chande, who is in roaring form will face tough challenge both from Sampada as well national ranked Divyanashi. But the field in the men’s and boys under-19 singles is wide open.. The organisers have received over 300 entries in the various sections. Added interest will be provided by the veteran men and women (U-39, U-69-plus 74) singles..
The major attraction of this event is that performance in this tourney will be part od selection for selection in the inter-district championships later this year..
