'I became India No. 1 but wasn't that serious on playing professionally': 16-year-old badminton sensation Tanvi Sharma
16-year-old badminton sensation Tanvi Sharma (left) (Photo: @BAI_Media on X) NEW DELHI: Tanvi Sharma, the 16-year-old badminton player from Punjab, scripted history at the US Open 2025 by becoming the youngest-ever Indian to play in the final of a BWF World Tour Final almost a week back. While her incredible run to the final saw her beat several higher-ranked stars, the recent 10th standard graduate is bound to become an inspiration for many. While her dream run in the competition ended with a 21-11, 16-21, 21-10 defeat to Beiwen Zhang of the United States on June 30, the future is certainly all shades of bright. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In an interaction with T , Tanvi spoke on what playing against someone twice her age felt like, how she manages school and a badminton career and what she's looking forward to in the future. Excerpts... Q: You played the US Open final against Beiwen Zhang, a player who is more than twice your age. When playing against such experienced players, do you feel any pressure? A: Of course, I did not feel any pressure at all. It was my first Super 300 final, and I was a little nervous, but there wasn't any pressure. Yes, she's a very experienced player, and I played my best. But she was also very good. Poll Do you think Tanvi Sharma will become a top badminton player in the future? Definitely Probably Not Sure Unlikely Q: What's been the biggest challenge in your badminton journey so far? A: When we were in Hyderabad for five years, it was a very difficult time, financially as well. At that time, I wasn't mentally strong and felt that I couldn't make it in Badminton. But afterwards, I became stronger. Q: Is there a senior player you look forward to playing against? A: Yes, I want to play against the world's top players. I want to play against An Seyoung, who is the world number one. I don't think about the outcome, but whenever I play, I just want to give my best. Tanvi Sharma (Badminton Photo/Yves Lacroix via PTI Photo) Q: At just 16, you're already at the top in junior badminton. You're still in school. How do you find that balance? How does a normal day go? A: I study for two hours a day. Of course, that's not enough, but my school is very cooperative. I just gave my 10th board exams. It was tough, but I managed it. I train 7-8 hours in a day and I study for two hours at night. Q: You've said earlier that PV Sindhu is your idol. Is there something from her game and journey that you try to emulate? A: Yes, of course. I like both Sindhu didi (PV Sindhu) and Saina didi ( Saina Nehwal ) a lot. From Sindhu didi, I try to follow her aggression on the court and her hard work a lot. I want to bring that into my game too, and I'm gradually doing that. India's Tanvi Sharma (Badminton Photo/Yves Lacroix via PTI Photo) Q: Was there a moment you realised badminton could become more than just a hobby and into a profession? A: Yes. I became India No. 1 for the first time in Under-13, but I wasn't that serious on playing professionally. Then in 2022, I won two all-India titles in U-16 and U-17. After that, I started feeling that I can do better going forward. Then in the national championships, I won in U-15, U-17 and in U-19, I was runner-up. That boosted my confidence a lot. My mom supported me a lot and motivated me. Because of that, I was able to do this. Q: Outside badminton, what hobbies do you enjoy? A: I like cricket and also do swimming. I enjoy both watching and playing cricket. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Tanvi Sharma celebrates after winning a point against Ukraine's Polina Buhrova during the women's singles semi-final match at the US Open 2025 badminton tournament, in Iowa, USA.

India's world No. 66 lost 11-21, 21-16, 10-21 in 46 minutes, ending a run that featured some fearless performances as she beat players ranked Nos. 23, 40, 50 and 58 en route to the final. Her performance helped her enter the league of top 50 players and a contract with IOS Sports and Entertainment. Tanvi has multiple international medals to her name, including a silver medal in the Badminton Asia Youth Championships 2023, a gold medal in the Badminton Asia Team Championships 2024, and a silver medal at the Senior National Championships 2023. Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann has also applauded her. On social platform 'X', the CM said it was a historic and proud moment for Punjab. Tanvi is part of the Indian squad for the Badminton Asia Junior Championship scheduled to be held in Indonesia from July 18 to July 27. She is on her way to join the national preparatory camp that is being held at the National Centre of Excellence, Guwahati, from July 4 to 15. Her mother and coach, Meena Sharma said that the recent win had filled Tanvi with enormous confidence and she is now prepared to take on upcoming challenges with more grit.

'Tanvi trained at Pullela Gopichand Badminton Academy, Hyderabad, for four years where she got the opportunity to play some of the best talents. After COVID, she did not go back and practiced under my guidance', she added. She revealed that for the US Open tournament, she was trained by Park Tae-Sang, Olympian PV Sindhu's former coach. 'She has her eyes set on the Los Angeles Olympics to be held in 2028', said Sharma.
