BPS State Badminton Ranking Tournament 2026

Anuj Vernekar’s tournament lasted 43 minutes: one men’s singles match, two games, and a 15-11, 15-8 first-round loss to Rahul Deswal at the BPS State Badminton Ranking Tournament 2026 in Navelim.

Seeded sixth, Vernekar began against Deswal on 8 Aug 2026, with play starting at 4:24 pm after the match was scheduled for 4:20 pm. He scored 19 points to Deswal’s 30, taking 11 in the opening game and eight in the second. The campaign ended in round one, with no decider and no other event listed.

The rally detail shows a clear split in how the match developed. Vernekar won 10 of 19 rallies on his serve and 9 of 30 on receive. He also won 7 of the first 10 recorded game-start rallies, but Deswal’s longest streak reached 11 points against Vernekar, while Vernekar’s best run was four. That contrast helps explain how a competitive opening game became a wider second-game margin without requiring a comeback: Vernekar’s maximum deficit overcome was recorded as zero.

The timing data adds another detail. Of the 49 covered rallies, Vernekar won 12 of 25 shorter rallies and 7 of 24 longer ones. The longest recorded gap came at 10-10 in the first game, lasting 59.264 seconds; after the interval, he won 5 of 9 recorded rallies compared with 3 of 9 before it. The available rally detail is limited to this single umpire-scored match, but it captures a campaign that started competitively and finished in the opening round.
