Tennis Tournament: Smriti, Sahaja and Sravya in semis
Posted June 21st, 2018, 10:28 AM IST
Smriti Bhasin was off to a bad start and inspite of losing the first she kept her spirits high and bounced back against Prathiba Prasad Narayan in the later sets to seal a comprehensive victory by a 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 scoreline.
Sahaja, Sravya and Sunskruti came up scintillating preformances and cruised into the semifinals with straight set victories.
Meanwhile, in the men’s singles Ajay Prithvik was in for a tense quarterfinal face off with Krishna Teja Ankam. Ajay found his usual form missing at the outset and Krishna made the best of his shortfalls to bag the first set.
Ajay, however, regained his grit and rallied to seal a convincing 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 victory.
B. Sai Saran Reddy was in top gear from the very start and sent Hevanth V. Kumar packing in straight sets 6-4, 7-5 to clinch a semifinal spot.
Prithvi Sekhar and Theyjo J. Oges were the other players who made it to the Last-four round of men’s singles.
