Australia’s Min Hyung defeated India’s Nithya Shree Mani 4-2 in the women's singles Round of 16 at the Commonwealth Table Tennis Championships 2026.

While Manush Shah maintained his winning streak in the singles R16 match against compatriot Jash Modi on Saturday, Australia’s Min Hyung ended Nithya Shree Mani's run with a 4-2 win in the women’s R16 singles event at the ongoing 22nd Commonwealth TT Championships 2026. The Indian women’s star failed to make the most of the start, losing this fixture 4-2. While Min Hyung qualified for the quarterfinals, India’s Nithya Shree was knocked out of the singles competition.

Solid start but Nothing Beyond

India’s Nithya Shree began brilliantly and won the opener 11-5 to take an early lead in this singles R16 match. Quick returns from the Indian and several unforced errors from her Aussie opponent ensured Nithya started well; however, she failed to make the most of her lead, as Min Hyung bounced back in the second game to level the scores (1-1).
