BPS State Badminton Ranking Tournament 2026

Angad Sawaikar’s tournament lasted 15 minutes, with his U9 Boys’ Singles campaign ending in a 15-10, 15-9 round-two loss to Divyam Singh on 9 August at Navelim. The match began at 11:13 am, three minutes after its scheduled time, and was recorded at 11:28 am.

Sawaikar finished with 19 points to Singh’s 30 across two games. His strongest route to points was on receive: he won 16 of 29 receiving rallies, compared with 3 of 20 on his own serve. He also took 5 of the first 10 rallies and won 4 of 9 rallies after the interval, against 2 of 9 before it.

The rally detail shows a modest but clear pattern. Sawaikar won 19 of 49 recorded rallies, including 10 of 25 short rallies and 9 of 24 long ones. His longest winning streak was two points, while Singh’s longest reached four, and Sawaikar did not erase a deficit of more than one point. The numbers suggest that receiving was the more productive phase, even as the match remained close enough for him to win nine rallies in the second game.

There was no decider, no walkover and no second event to extend the schedule. With no rest gap between matches, Sawaikar’s tournament became a single-round-two test, ending with a concise defeat but a useful statistical marker: 16 receiving points won against just three on serve.
