BPS State Badminton Ranking Tournament 2026

Shanaya Sah’s tournament began with two first-round matches on 7 August and ended with her closest scoreline two days later. Across U11 Girls’ Singles, U11 Girls’ Doubles and U9 Girls’ Singles, she finished 0-3, with 26 points won and 90 conceded over 38 minutes on court.

In U11 singles, Sah lost to Saachi Sinai Kenkre 3-15, 1-15, playing for 10 minutes. Later that evening, she and her doubles partner faced Oorvi Khyalia and Samaira Velip, losing 6-15, 1-15 in a 12-minute match. That doubles result belongs to the pair, while Sah’s rally record in the match includes two points won on serve and five on receive.

After a 161-minute rest gap between her recorded matches, Sah returned on 9 August for U9 Girls’ Singles against Meher Aghicha. She lost 4-15, 11-15, but this was her strongest showing by the score: 15 points won, including six of 15 points on her own serve, and a five-point winning streak.

The pattern across the available rally detail is notable. Sah won 15 of 57 long rallies but only 11 of 59 short rallies, suggesting her better returns came as exchanges extended. She also won 13 of 58 rallies in the first games and 13 of 58 in the last games overall, while her U9 singles finish improved sharply: 11 points in the last game compared with four in the first. Her campaign ended in the first round of each event, but it finished with her clearest competitive surge.
