Manika Batra

Star India paddler Manika Batra failed to bag a medal at the World Table Tennis Championships after crashing out in the quarter-finals of the mixed and women's doubles events here.

Just one win away from a historic medal, Batra and G Sathiyan lost to Japan's Tomakazu Harimoto and Hina Hayata 1-3 in the Last-8 round of the mixed doubles competition.

Batra had another opportunity to create history but she faltered yet again, losing the women's doubles quarter-finals with her partner Archana Kamath in straight games. Batra and Kamath were no match for Luxembourg duo of Sarah De Nutte and Ni Xia Lian, losing 0-3 in a lop-sided contest.
