Swastika Ghosh Upsets Top Seed in WTT Contender After Medical Recovery
Swastika Ghosh, a 23-year-old Indian table tennis player ranked 149th globally, achieved a major upset by defeating second seed Miyuu Kihara at the WTT Contender in Almaty, Kazakhstan. This victory followed her recovery from an ovarian cyst diagnosis and surgery in 2024, which had disrupted her career and forced withdrawals from key tournaments. Although she lost in the Round of 16 to Russia's Vlada Voronina, Ghosh's performance signals a promising comeback as she aims to improve her ranking and form.
