Indian table tennis veteran Achanta Sharath Kamal made a shock exit from the men’s singles competition but Manika Batra and Sreeja Akula started their campaigns with comfortable wins in the women’s singles Round of 64.

The 42-year-old Kamal, making his fifth Olympics appearance, lost 12-10 9-11 6-11 7-11 11-8 10-12 to Deni Kozul of Slovenia, ranked 86 places below the Indian, in a Round of 64 match that lasted 53 minutes.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
