Rising shuttler Unnati Hooda today became the first Indian to enter the under-17 women’s singles final of the Badminton Asia Junior Championships in Nothaburi, Thailand, after beating Japan’s Mion Yokouchi in straight games.

Unnati won 21-8 21-17 over her Japanese rival in the semifinals. She faces Sarunrak Vitidsarn of Thailand in the gold medal match tomorrow.

In the men’s U-15 singles semifinals, Anish Thoppani stunned second seed Lee Yu-Jui of Chinese Taipei 18-21 21-12 21-12. The U-17 men’s doubles pair of Arsh Mohammad and Sanskar Saraswat also moved into the final after beating Chinese Taipei’s Chi-Ruei Chiu and Shao Hua Chiu 21-15 21-19.

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).
