Manav Thakkar’s memorable performance at the WTT Star Contender Chennai 2025 ended with a hard-fought 3-1 semifinal loss against World No. 54 Thibault Poret on Sunday. The 24-year-old lost 12-10, 11-9, 7-11, 11-7 against his French opponent. Having become the first Indian male player to reach the semifinal stages of a WTT Star Contender event just a day earlier, Manav delivered a spirited performance at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium, pushing the 20-year-old Frenchman in a thrilling, high-intensity contest.

They’d play a quick game with two bounces on the table, or with just high balls, or simply stationed at the net.

That is also helping spur the growth of Thakkar, who has risen to world No.59 from outside the top 100 until mid-2023. For about …
