Indian shuttlers Tanvi Sharma and Tharun Mannepalli showcased stellar performances to secure their spots in the finals of the Odisha Masters Super 100 badminton tournament on Saturday.

Fifteen-year-old Tanvi, fresh from her Bonn International title win, edged out compatriot Shriyanshi Valishetty in a nail-biting women’s singles semifinal with a score of 21-19, 21-19. She now prepares to take on Chinese qualifier Cai Yan Yan, who recently clinched the Guwahati Masters title.

In the men’s singles, Tharun Mannepalli, runner-up at the Senior National Championships, delivered a stunning comeback against sixth-seed Sathish Kumar Karunakaran. After losing the first set 12-21, Tharun rallied to win the next two sets 21-19, 21-12, securing his place in the final.

Both players are poised to battle for their maiden Super 100 crowns in Sunday’s finals, carrying high hopes for Indian badminton.
