Mumbai, May 28: The young Indian paddler Preyesh Raj Suresh, went down fighting 1-3 against Russia's Ilia Koniukhov in the U-15 boys' single quarter-finals at the 2021 WTT Youth Star Contender Tunis.
The Chennai boy and current sub-junior champion showed great resistance against the Russian opponent and made him work hard for each point. However, Preyesh couldn't manage to gain the required momentum and ended up with a hard-fought 9-11, 8-11, 12-10, 4-11 defeat.
On Saturday (May 29), India's Diya Chitale and Swastika Ghosh will begin their campaign in the U-19 girls singles group stage.
Playing in the U-15 boys singles, the current national sub-junior champion Preyesh recovered well after being a set down against Swedish opponent before completing a 7-11, 15-13, 8-11, 11-7, 11-7 victory in the hard-fought five-setter last-16 match.
The ongoing tournament, which is scheduled from May 26 to 30 in Tunis, is the first youth international event Indian paddlers are participating in since the coronavirus outbreak. Preyesh will take on Russian Ilia Koniukhov in the last-8 match.
The Chennai paddler Preyesh Raj earlier finished second in the group stage with two wins from three group matches. The 14-year-old Preyesh Raj defeated Musa Mustapha of Nigeria and local favourite Chadi Hsayri of Tunisia 11-7, 12-10, 11-5 and 9-11, 11-4, 11-5, 11-6 respectively. However, he suffered a 12-14, 6-11, 10-12 loss against Russian paddler Aleksei Samokhin.

Earlier the current national youth and junior champion 16-year-old Payas made his way into the knockout stage with a second-place finish in the group stage with two wins from three matches.
Another Indian in the U-19 boys singles, Deepit Patil couldn't progress to the knockout stage as he finished third in the group stage.
