Mansi Singh wins second successive All India Junior Ranking tournament
Haryana girl Mansi Singh continued her dream run, beating M Meghana Reddy in straight games to bag her second successive All India Junior Ranking badminton tournament on Sunday.
Mansi, who has won the junior ranking event in Chandigarh last week, had dropped just one game enroute to the final and displayed the same form as she won 21-10, 21-14 in just 25 minutes to clinch the girls singles title at the Karnataka Badminton Association courts.
Sixth seed Harsh Arora clinched the boys singles crown after second seed and last week's winner Ravi conceded the match. Arora was leading 13-4 in the opening game when Ravi opted to concede.
The Chandigarh and Bengaluru junior ranking tournaments were earmarked as selection events for picking the Indian squad for the Dutch and German Junior Open to be held next month.
In the paired events, Edwin Joy and Shruti Mishra were lining up for a double crown after reaching the summit clash in two events.
The day, however, did not start on the right note .
