UTT Season 6: Sreeja Akula Powers Jaipur Patriots To 8-7 Win Over U Mumba TT
Ultimate Table Tennis: Indian ace Sreeja Akula stunned World No. 12 Bernadette Szocs, the highest-ranked player in the league, during their singles match, as the Jaipur Patriots narrowly defeated U Mumba TT 8-7 for their second victory in Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT) Season 6.
Jaipur started strong as Kanak Jha handed Lilian Bardet his first defeat of the season, edging him 2-1 in a tightly contested opener. Sreeja then lit up the tie, outplaying Szocs with a fearless display in the decider after the two split the opening games. But U Mumba stormed back into the contest through the pairing of Szocs and Akash Pal, who swept the mixed doubles 3-0 to swing the tie their way.
Jeet Chandra’s gritty comeback win over Akash Pal—sealed with a Golden Point in the second game—brought the tie level once again, setting up a tense finish. In the decider, Britt Eerland’s experience proved crucial as she overpowered young Yashaswini Ghorpade 2-1, sealing the tie 8-7 for Jaipur despite dropping the final game.
