India had a mixed day in the Olympic Games table tennis competition on Sunday with Manika Batra and Sreeja Akula advancing to the next round in women's singles while top male paddler Achanta Sharath Kamal went down in the opening round of men's singles. Manika, India's best bet in women's singles, opened her campaign with a comfortable 4-1 (11-8, 12-10, 11-9, 9-11, 11-5) defeat of Great Britain’s Anna Hursey in a Round of 64 clash on Sunday.
The paddler, ranked 28th in the World, was unstoppable in the first three games, winning 11-8, 12-10, 11-9 to start the match on a strong note. Hursey’s late charge saw her winning the fourth game 9-11. Despite the hiccup, Manika remained composed to seal a 4-1 victory by winning the fifth game 11-5 to cap off her impressive outing.
