Tanvi Patri Wins Asian U17 Crown in All-Indian Final
Tanvi Patri is a 15-year-old badminton player from Odisha, India.
She won the Asian under-17 girls’ singles championship in Chengdu, China.
Her opponent in the final was another Indian player, Shaina Manimuthu.
Patri lost the first game according to most reports, then won the next two games.
The commonly reported score was 11-15, 15-10, 15-12, although one report printed the first two scores differently.
This was Patri’s second Asian age-group title after she won the under-15 championship in 2024.
She had also won international and national-level tournaments during her breakthrough 2026 season.
Another Indian pair, Aaditya Singh Negi and Tanmay Verma, earned bronze in under-15 boys’ doubles.
Fifteen-year-old Tanvi Patri defeated compatriot Shaina Manimuthu in the Badminton Asia U17 girls’ singles final in Chengdu, China.
Most reports recorded Patri’s winning score as 11-15, 15-10, 15-12, while one report reversed the first two game scores.
The title adds to Patri’s 2024 U15 Asian crown and victories at the Pontianak International Challenge and Bengaluru’s All India Junior U19 tournament.
India retained the U17 girls’ singles title after Diksha Sudhakar’s 2025 victory, with Manimuthu taking silver.
