By Next Year I Want to be Best Junior Player in the World: Unnati Hooda

News 18  

She has a lovely smile and lilting laughter. Her best performance after the Odisha tournament came in the BAI trials at Delhi last week where she laid low many top players like Aditi Bhat, Poorva Barve, Anura Prabhudesai, and took a game off the dangerous Malvika Bansod and Akurshi Kashyap, who emerged India’s No.1 after PV Sindhu. Unnati’s scintillating display in women’s singles in the last two months or so has resulted in her selection for the prestigious Uber Cup and the Asian games squads. In the Odisha tournament she had defeated the current world No.1 ranked junior girl Tasneem Mir, world 67 ranked Malvika Bansod and no 218 ranked Smit Toshniwal and emerged as the youngest player in the world to win a BWF Super100 event. Next year I want to be the best junior player in the world and in 2024 I want to play in the Olympics and I want to bring laurels to India.
