Manush Shah’s current ranking — 14 in the domestic and 402 in the international level — is not something to crow about. But the 20-year-old has been working hard and recent results are a testimony of it.
The singles crown in the Ecuador International Open in November boosted his confidence and the paddler from Gujarat showed glimpses of his capabilities at the domestic level too with an 8-11, 11-8, 8-11, 13-11, 7-11, 12-10, 11-7 upset victory over top seed Sanil Shetty in the men’s quarterfinals of the UTT National-ranking South Zone table tennis tournament at the Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium here on Wednesday.
Unseeded here, Manush’s gritty fight back in the fourth and sixth games underelined his abilities.
