Second seed Parmeet Deol suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Paras Mittal when he lost 5-4(5),4-2 in the boys’ Under-14 category on the first day of the British School Total Tennis Championship for juniors that was played at the Total Tennis Academy’s The British School in Sector 70 on Sunday.

Parmeet put a valiant fight in the first set but still could not prevent his opponent from clinching the set in a highly exciting tie-breaker at 5-4(5). His efforts to make a comeback in the second set went in vain as Paras played some good shots all over the court to claim the set 4-2.

Meanwhile,Himmat Kadiyan defeated Harsimran Singh 5-3,4-2 in an evenly contested match. Himmat hardly gave any chance to Harsimran to play his natural game and won both the sets. The other matches in the Under-14 category turned out to be one-sided affairs.

Paras Mittal continued with his winning momentum when he registered an emphatic victory over Sourav Prashar in the boys’ Under-12 category. Paras,the top seed,blanked his opponent Sourav 4-0,4-0 in just half an hour.

The most exciting match in the Under-12 category was played between Prabhmaan Thapar and Prateek Sharma. Prabhman was stretched to the maximum by Prateek during the former’s 5-4(2),4-2 win.

Meanwhile,third seed Parmeet Deol hardly faced any difficulty while defeating Gursehaj Singh 4-0,5-3. Second seed Sagar Bains outclassed Mayank Arora during his 4-1,4-2 win.
