India at Tokyo Olympics: Brilliant comeback win by Manika Batra against higher ranked Pesotska, enters singles 3rd round
Xtra Time Web Desk: Ace Indian TT paddler Manika Batra made a stunning comeback to win her 2nd round match against Margaryta Pesotska of Ukraine at the Tokyo Olympics. Manika won 4-11, 4-11, 11-7, 12-10, 8-11, 11-5, 11-7 against the World rank No 32 Pesotska.
Margaryta, coached by her mother Margarita Anatoliina Pesotska, a former erstwhile USSR and Ukraine champion, took the first two games easily against Manika. However, she rallied well to bag the next two before conceding the fourth game.
With her personal coach Sanmay Paranjape cheering her from the gallery as he was refused the official status which allows to sit by the court side, Manika unleashed her usual stuff of playing over, crashing unreturnable smashes and placing well as her higher ranker star from Ukraine succumbed in a match which took 56 minutes.
