| Railways pair of Akash Pal and Poymantee Baisya win mixed doubles title | | | agencies
Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 23: Railways pair of Akash Pal and Poymantee Baisya lifted their game at crucial junctures to beat Railways-West Bengal duo of Ravindra Kotiyan and Prapti Sen 3-2 in the mixed doubles final of the second UTT National Ranking Championships here on Monday. Nothing separated the two finalists as they kept winning the alternate games until the fourth. But Akash and Poymantee upped the ante with a better understanding in the decisive fifth game and forced their rivals into committing errors. After that, everything fell into place for the Railway's pair, which seized a solid lead to finish the match. The top male players sailed into the singles quarterfinals without a hiccup. But the women's section saw fourth seed Archana Kamath, sixth seed Reeth Rishya and eighth seed Reeth Rishya biting the dust. Though Reeth exited in the first round, going down 1-3 to qualifier Priyadarsini Das of RBI, Archana lasted the first two rounds before young Yashaswini Ghorpade beat her in the pre-quarterfinals.
