Doha: Sharath Kamal faltered once again in the pre-quarterfinals of the WTT Star Contenders in Doha when he went down in straight games to World No. 12 Dmitrij Ovtcharov. The German won 11-9, 11-8, 11-6.
Sharath showed consistency in the first game against the German, who recently won the WTT Contenders title, and came close. But he could never get under the skin of a man who was in superb form.
After losing the first game so narrowly, Sharath looked good again the second but could not overcome the blues. In the end, the third game was so easy for the German that he didn’t need to make any extra effort to complete the task. He will take on Swede Anton Kallberg in the quarterfinals tomorrow.
With the exit of Sharath, the Indian campaign in the WTT events came to an end.
