Top-ranked players through

View(s): Top-ranked players Rohan Sirisena, B.N.B. Jayasinghe, Milinda Lakshitha and Udaya Ranasinghe entered the quarterfinals of the Men’s Singles event at the 67th Table Tennis Nationals being held at the Jayatilleke Indoor Stadium in Nawalapitiya. Jayasinghe and Lakshitha won their matches with comparative ease, while Sirisena and Ranasinghe were taken to four sets by their opponents Sajith Kavinda and G.P.H. Sajith.
In the Women’s section, Ishara Madurangi had to fall out in the second set through she won straight sets. Erandi Warusavithana, who had a potentially tough match against Ridmi Karandanaarachchi, was able to oust her without much difficulty. The final between Ishara and Erandi, which takes place today, should be a fascinating one.
