TT World Championships: Ghorpade-Chitale Advance To Pre-Quarters, Sutirtha-Ayhika Ousted
However, the 14th-seeded Indian pair of Sutirtha and Ayhika suffered a straight-game defeat to a lower-ranked German duo. Indian women's doubles pair of Yashaswini Ghorpade and Diya Chitale advanced to pre-quarterfinals, but their compatriots Sutirtha Mukherjee and Ayhika Mukherjee were knocked out of the World Table Tennis Championships, here on Monday. Chitale and Ghorpade rallied from a game down to beat the Singaporean duo of Zeng Jian and Ser Lin Qian 6-11, 11-6, 11-6, 11-9 in their round-of-32 clash. However, the 14th-seeded Indian pair of Sutirtha and Ayhika suffered a straight-game defeat to the lower-ranked German duo of Annett Kaufmann and Xiaona Shan, losing 1-11, 11-13, 7-11 in just 23 minutes. India's mixed doubles campaign also came to an end with Chitale and Manush Shah losing 0-3 (8-11, 9-11, 2-11) to the Korean pair of Oh Junsung and Kim Nayeong. It turned out to be a disappointing day for Shah, who endured a hat-trick of defeats. After the mixed doubles loss, he was ousted from the men's singles event by sixth seed Felix Lebrun of France, going down 0-4 (5-11, 6-11, 6-11, 9-11) in the second round. Later, Shah also exited the men's doubles competition. Partnering Manav Thakkar, the eighth-seeded Indian duo lost tamely 5-11, 9-11, 11-8, 5-11 to the unseeded German pair of Benedikt Duda and Dang Qiu. First Published: May 19, 2025, 23:07 IST

TT Worlds: Sreeja Akula loses but India taste success in doubles
The Indian pair of Manav Thakkar and Manush Shah too tasted success in their first round men's doubles match in the premier tournament. Doha, May 17 (PTI) India number one Sreeja Akula crashed out in the first round but the Mukherjee sisters — Ayhika and Sutirtha — and the duo of Diya Chitale and Yashaswini Ghodpade won their respective women's doubles opening matches in the table tennis World Championships here on Saturday. It was a disappointing outing for the Indian as she made an early exit after losing to the world number 84. Sreeja won the opening game, but after that, lost her momentum, dropping innumerable points and making unforced errors to go down in just 33 minutes. The Indian contingent though had moments to cheer as Asian Games medallists Ayhika and Sutirtha beat the Turkish pair of Ozge Yilmaz and Ece Harac 3-2 (4-11 11-9 10-12 11-9 11-7) following a five-game thriller. The result meant that the Indian pair ended a six-match losing streak while progressing to the next round of the ITTF World Championships. The second Indian women's doubles pair of Diya and Yashaswini too progressed to the second round of the competition with a win against Uzbekistan pair of Magdieva and Erkebaeva 3-1 (9-11 11-2 11-9 11-8). They started off on the wrong note and lost the opening game by a close margin but bounced back to win the next three games and confirm their place in second round. The Indian duo of Thakkar and Shah then continued their good form this season with a straight-game win over the Slovenian duo of Deni Kozul and Peter Hribar. They won 3-0 (11-7 11-8 11-6).
