Indian shuttler Mithun Manjunath’s splendid run at the Orleans Masters ended with a straight game loss to local favourite Toma Junior Popov in the summit clash of the Super 100 tournament here.

The shuttler from Bengaluru was rated highly during his junior days and he also had one or two odd performances in the circuit like reaching the quarters at 2018 Czech Open and back-to-back semi-finals finishes at Vietnam Open and Russian Open in 2018. He was one of the players who had withdrawn from the India Open Super 500 event ahead of his second round match against India’s H S Prannoy after testing positive for COVID-19.
