Top seed Maharashtra’s Swaraaj Shailendra Dhamdhere overpowered the local challenger to win the boys’ U-18 title on the concluding day of the CLTA-AITA National Series Tennis Tournament, at the Sector 10 Complex.

Dhamdhere won the opening set 6-4, but Saroha bounced back in the next with a 3-6 verdict. In the final set, Dhamdhere completely dominated and returned with a stunning 6-0 win to bag the title.

Meanwhile, Punjab’s Ranjhana Sangram won the girls’ U-18 title, as third seed Maharashtra’s Nainika Naren Bendram pulled off from the match. Ranjhana was leading the first set 4-1 before Nainika decided to concede the match.

Dr Reet Mahinder Singh, member of Executive Committee; Megh Raj, chief operating officer; and Y Romen Singh, director, coaching & development, CLTA; distributed the prizes to the winners and runners-up.

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).
