It was all over for city’s Ritika Thaker as the Indian shuttler lost both her quarter-final matches bowing out of the BWF’s Maha Metro International Challenge Championship under way at the Indoor Hall of Divisional Sports Complex in Mankapur, on Friday.

Playing four matches in a day proved too taxing for shuttlers—Ritika, her women’s doubles partner Simran Singhi and mixed doubles partner Dingku Singh Konthoujam— as they lost their quarter-final encounters on Friday which brought curtains on their campaign.

A probably exhausted Ritika and Simran Singhi lost the women’s quarter-finals to seventh seeded Japanese pair of Chisato Hoshi and Miyu Takahashi in straight games 8-21, 13-21 at the fag end of the day’s play.

Earlier in the evening, Ritika and her partner Dingku Singh Konthoujam were ousted of the mixed doubles event by Maneesha K and Gouse in entertaining three games.

Ritika and her partners had to play the prequarter-finals of both the categories in the morning session.

Their day started with mixed doubles PQF where Ritika and Dingku defeated Karishma Wadkar and Deep Rambhiya 21-16, 19-21, 23-21 in a 55 minutes battle.

Later in the afternoon, Ritika and Simran got the better of Aparna Balan and Krishna Gowri TR 21-14, 21-19 to make it to the women's doubles quarter-finals.

But as the challenge grew in the last-eight battle, Ritika-Dingku pair first lost the gruelling mixed doubles battle to Maneesha K and Gouse Shaik 18-21, 21-15, 15-21 in 53

minutes. A completely drained out Ritika and Simran lost women’s doubles to Japan’s Chisato Hoshi and Miyu Takahashi 8-21, 13-21.
