“It’s a good start to the year and now I am looking forward to put up a steady show in the Polish Open and then at the Croatian Open.
This silver medal will be a motivation for me to face bigger challenges in the coming season,” added the former National junior champion. Polish Open is scheduled to be held from March 24-27 while the Croatian Open will be played from March 31 to April 3.
Elaborating on the title round match against Guru, the second year Bcom student of SBM Jain College said: “I mixed it up a little bit in the final and tried too much which caused my downfall.”
