Indian Junior Grand Prix Sees Aluguvelli Upset Eighth Seed

Arjun Reddy Aluguvelli won a difficult badminton match against Adithya Kiran from the UAE.

Kiran was the tournament’s eighth seed, so the victory was an upset.

Aluguvelli won two of the three games.

Neeraj Nair PS also won a three-game match against second seed Jagsher Singh Khangurra.

This result differs from the accompanying key point, which says Jagsher won.

Vaibhav Singh beat fellow Indian player Vernan Mahanta in another close three-game match.

Mahanta came back to tie the contest after losing the first game.

Vaibhav stayed calm and won the deciding game.
