On the concluding day of the CLTA-AITA National Ranking Tennis Championship, fourth seed from Punjab Dalwinder Singh and Jaya Kapoor emerged as the men’s and women’s singles champions, respectively.

Dalwinder lifted the title by defeating Vatsal Manikantan of Tamil Nadu in the summit clash. Singh won the opening set easily 6-1, but faced some resistance in the second taking it 7-5 to emerge victorious.

The women’s final, meanwhile, saw Jaya Kapoor of Uttrakhand cruise past Karnataka’s Vidula Amar with an identical 6-4 6-4 scoreline.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
