The event saw some of the best players from across the country compete in various categories, with Goa's Tanisha Crasto emerging as the star of the tournament.
Tanisha showcased her exceptional skills by winning both the Women's Doubles and Mixed Doubles titles with straight sets wins. She teamed up with Ashwini Ponappa in the Women's Doubles and Sai Pratheek K in the Mixed Doubles to clinch the wins.
In Women's Doubles finals, Tanisha who partnered Ashwini Ponappa defeated Radhika Sharma and Tanvi Sharma with a score of 21-13, 21-14, while in the Mixed Doubles finals, Tanisha and Sai Pratheek K beat Hariharan Amsakarunan and Varshini V S with a score of 21-19, 21-13.
Goa Badminton Association congratulated Tanisha on her feat. “Tanisha and her earlier partner Ishaan Bhatnagar were unfortunate to miss out on Gold in recently concluded Senior Nationals at Pune owing to a serious on Court injury to Ishaan. But it is good to see Tanisha bounce back so strongly after the heartbreak. The upcoming Asian Games and Sudirman Cup are huge events in badminton, and these wins for Tanisha and her partners will be significant for gaining valuable ranking points that could get them closer to the India squad, or into the Selection trials,” stated Sandeep Heble, GBA Secretary.
