Welcome to The Bridge's LIVE Blog from the quarterfinals of Table Tennis World Youth Championships
India has so far secured two bronze medals - Under-15 Girls Team and U-15 Girls Doubles, in the ongoing World Youth Table Tennis Championships. One name common in both these medals was Suhana Saini.
The youngster will once again be in medal contention today when she takes on Romania's Bianca Mei Rosu in U-15 girls singles. A win today will ensure Saini returning back home with three medals. This will be followed by prodigiously talented Payas Jain in sweating it out in the U-19 boys singles quarterfinals.
Stay tuned!
