“I am very happy to keep the winning momentum in singles, but unfortunately, we fell short in mixed doubles. This win will boost my preparation and training for Canada International,” the 33-year-old Bhagat said.

“Manisha is really a good emerging player in SU5 and I am sure we will deliver good results in future,” Bhagat added.

Manasi Joshi also claimed gold in SL3, beating fellow Indian Mandeep Kaur 16-21, 24-22, 21-14 in 43 minutes.
