Achanta Sharath Kamal of India, who is in the form of his
life at the Suzhou World Table Tennis Championships, had to withdraw from the
championships due to an unfortunate injury.
He tore a leg muscle during his second round match against
Simon Gauzy of France. Sharath fought valiantly and completed the match 4-1
despite sustaining the injury at the 3-0 stage.
Sharath was drawn to face Fang Bo of China in the next round
to decide the pre-quarterfinalist from that section of the draw.
