Table tennis nationals: Manika eludes Reeth’s grasp, wins title
The Hindu
A mix of plenty of pluck and loads of luck saw Manika Batra regain the National table tennis title she won in 2015.
A firm favourite, Manika appeared vulnerable against her Indian Oil-colleague and first-time finalist Reeth Rishya after losing the first two games. But what followed was Manika’s dramatic resurrection that saw her almost sprint on the home-stretch of a 8-11, 10-12, 11-1, 11-9, 11-5, 11-6 triumph in 44 minutes, at the nearby Panchkula.
