Malvika makes Tasnim dance to her tunes, enters Odisha Open quarters

Odisha Open Malvika Bansod Tasnim Mir Cuttack NAGPUR World Junior

NAGPUR: It was expected to be a cracking contest, but Malvika Bansod had other plans. The enterprising city shuttler made light work of World Junior (U-19) No 1 Tasnim Mir to coast into the quarterfinals of the Odisha Open at the Jawahar Lal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Cuttack on Thursday.

Malvika forged ahead, sustaining the momentum of her recent wins to dismiss the in-form Tasnim in a 33-minute lop-sided contest. The left-handed Malvika, ranked 67th in the world, won her second-round clash in straight games 21-13, 21-15 in the women's singles pre-quarterfinals of the BWF Super 100 tournament.
