Tanvi Patri Wins U17 Title At Badminton Asia Junior C’ships In China
All India Junior U19 Badminton: Fifteen-year-old Tanvi Patri clinched the girls’ singles U17 title at the Badminton Asia U17 & U15 Junior Championships on Sunday, rallying past compatriot Shaina Manimuthu 11-15, 15-10, 15-12 in an all-Indian final.
The victory capped another impressive campaign for the Odisha youngster, who has enjoyed a breakthrough 2026 season. Patri, who won her maiden international title at the Pontianak International Challenge and later triumphed at the All India Junior U19 Badminton Ranking Tournament in Bengaluru, added the continental U17 crown to the U15 Asian title she won in 2024.
The second-seeded Patri was tested early in her campaign after receiving a first-round bye. She edged China’s Zhou Jing Li 18-16, 12-15, 15-13 in a closely fought three-game encounter before defeating Japan’s Shizuku Kashio 15-9, 15-12.
