The WTT Youth Contender Vadodara: Ankur Bhattacharjee proved to be too strong for the U/19 boys’ category as he beat Abhinandh Pradhivadhi 3-0 (11/5, 18/16, 11/5) in the final of the WTT Youth Contender Vadodara 2025 here on Saturday. Abhinandh showed some fight in the second set, pushing Ankur to the brink, but Ankur recovered quickly to take the third and final game very easily. Bhattacharjee won the category without dropping a single set, proving why he was the favourite to win the event from the start.

Divyanshi Bhowmick struck gold once again in the U/15 category, taking her tally to two individual gold medals and one silver medal in the U/15 mixed category. She became the most prolific player of the event, taking home the most medals.

The U/15 girls’ final was played between Divyanshi Bhowmick and Satya Aspathi (USA), a match won by Divyanshi 3-1 (11/6, 7/11, 11/6, 11/6).
