Bhubaneswar: Sarthak Arya, the 14-year-old prodigy hailing from Gunthilo village in Odisha’s Jagatsinghpur district, has etched his name in glory by securing a double crown at the WTT Youth Contender meet held in Algeria.

Sarthak’s remarkable performance in the under-15 boys’ singles category saw him emerge victorious against formidable opponents. He defeated Kim Seongwon from Korea with a score of 3-1 and Uzbekistan’s Temurbek Nurmonov with a dominant 3-0.

Not content with just one triumph, Sarthak Arya, in collaboration with partner Riana, clinched the mixed doubles crown. The dynamic duo showcased exceptional skills to overcome top pairs from Korea, Hong Kong, and China on their way to securing the coveted title.

Prior to their success in Algeria, Sarthak and Riana had already made their mark by winning a silver medal in Tunisia.
