Birmingham: Manika Batra, who won four medals in 2018 Commonwealth Games including gold in women's singles, ended her campaign in Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games without a medal as she and her partner crashed out of the women's doubles quarterfinals. Manika had already lost in the women's singles and mixed doubles, partnering with G. Sathiyan, and the women's doubles was her only hope in this edition of the Commonwealth Games.

In the women's singles, Manika went down to Jian Zeng of Singapore in the women's singles quarterfinals. It was a one-sided match 4-0.
