Montpellier:<\/strong>\u00a0 Star paddler Manika Batra crashed out of the WTT Champions in the quarterfinal after a straight-game defeat against China\u2019s Qian Tianyi in Montpellier, France.<\/p>\n

Ranked 30th in the world, the Indian succumbed to Tianyi with scores of 8-11, 8-11, 10-12 in a swift 25-minute match on Saturday night. Despite being a multiple Commonwealth Games medalist and putting up a strong fight in all three games, Batra was outplayed by her Chinese adversary in the critical points, leading to her defeat.<\/p>\n

Batra made history as the first Indian to reach the WTT quarterfinals, having upset the world\u2019s number 14, Bernadette Szocs of Romania, with scores of 11-9, 6-11, 13-11, 11-9 on Friday to advance to the last eight.<\/p>\n

Tianyi also delivered a surprise in the pre-quarterfinals by defeating her compatriot, world No. 4 and top seed Yidi Wang, with scores of 11-7, 11-9, 13-11.<\/p>\n

Tianyi is set to compete against the third-seeded Japanese player Miwa Harimoto in the semifinals on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Sreeja Akula, another Indian in the WTT and ranked 25th globally, was ousted in the first round following a loss to the world\u2019s number 13, Adriana Diaz of Puerto Rico, with scores of 6-11, 11-7, 11-1, 8-11, 11-8.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
