BPS State Badminton Ranking Tournament 2026

Shubham Swami’s tournament began with a win before he played a rally. In men’s singles, Chinmay Kamat’s first-round walkover put Swami into the next qualifying round, while his men’s doubles campaign opened on court against Om Kunkolienkar and Sahil Sayed.

That doubles match lasted 32 minutes and went to a decider. Swami’s pair took the first game 17–15, dropped the second 15–10, then lost the third 15–9. Swami recorded 39 points for the side against 42, with 21 of his 42 receive rallies won. The result left the doubles run at one played loss.

Thirty-six minutes later, Swami returned for singles against Chirag Mahale. He lost the opening game 15–9, answered with a 15–8 win, then fell 15–7 in the decider. The singles match lasted 25 minutes, taking his total court time to 57 minutes across the two completed matches.

The pattern across the rally detail is notable: Swami won 36 of 80 receive rallies overall, compared with 33 of 70 on serve, and his side won 13 of 30 points at game starts. He also won 14 of 30 clutch rallies, almost the same rate as his 55 of 120 baseline rallies. After the interval, his results dipped slightly, from 18 of 33 rallies before it to 16 of 33 after it.

His singles event ended with the second-round defeat, while the doubles loss came in round one. The walkover supplied the only win, but both played matches reached a deciding game, giving Swami a tournament defined by close, extended contests rather than quick exits.
