In another upset of the same section, UP's Ashutosh Pant, the boy who knocked out second seed Prakash Kashyap on Monday, scalped fourth seed Amit Khadgi (Maharashtra) 15-1, 15-4). The girls' section saw its first seeded casualty when unseeded Shruti Kurien (Kerala) defeated Ketaki Thakkar (Air-India) 11-3, 11-8.

Sadani, who was dwarfed in height and physique against the top-seeded Hazarika, played well within himself. Hazarika, who had reached the last eight in the under-16 singles barely two hours ago, looked slow and sluggish.Sadani was adept with his dribbles at the net and countered well his rival's powerful smashes. The Assam lad seemed reluctant to play close to the net in the first game. He showedglimses of his prowess in the second, which he dominated.

Trailing 5-10 in the decieder, Hazarika rallied to 10-10. The players went neck-and-neck till 13-13 before Sadani clinched the match over extra points. It was evident that the punishing scheduled of enterinng in the three categories -- under-13 singles and doubles and under-16 singles -- took its toll.
