Manika's spell in the WTT Contender Lima 2023 didn't live up to the expectations as she bowed out of the tournament in the Round of 32.
Japan's Miu Hirano turned out to be a tough challenge for Manika as she sealed her place in the Round of 16 with an impressive 3-1 victory.
India's highest ranked paddler started the game on a strong foot as she clinched the first set by 11-7. The Japanese paddler bounced back to claim the next three sets and end Manika's tournament.
