NEW DELHI, July 23 -- Though she tried her best, Tanvi Sharma could not take India beyond the quarter-finals at the Badminton Asia Junior Mixed Team Championships last week at Solo, Indonesia. However, she could make a bigger impact this week as the junior world No.1 when she takes the court at the Manahan Indoor Sports Hall (Indonesia) as one of the favourites for the singles title. The 16-year-old is in excellent form. Only last month she reached the women's singles final in the US Open, a Super 300 event, at Council Bluffs, Iowa. She beat many higher-ranked opponents to reach the final where she lost to the seasoned former top 10 player Beiwen Zhang of the US, but not before taking a game off her. "To be honest, I did not expect to take a game off her. She is a very good player and very experienced. I just thought of giving my best," the 16-year-old told HT. "I was matching the pace (of my opponents) the entire week. In the final, I was a little nervous and committed unforced errors. But yeah, I played well. From my opponents, I learnt how focused they are in the game, how they manage their schedule. I also learnt a lot from Beiwen's quality of strokes." This wasn't Tanvi's first final of the year though, having won the Denmark Challenge in May defeating many higher ranked opponents....
