Why it matters
Success in national ranking tournaments is a key stepping stone for athletes aiming to improve their world rankings and compete on the global stage.
Winning their maiden women’s doubles title together at the Yonex-Sunrise all India senior ranking badminton tournament on Thursday has given Tamil Nadu’s V.S. Varshini and Kerala’s Nayana S. Oasis the confidence that their partnership is heading in the right direction.
The pair, who have been partnering only since January this year, defeated Odisha’s Rutaparna Panda and Swetaparna Panda 15-12, 15-6 in the final.
