Delhi top seed Gaurav Nandrajog proved a handful for Amjad Khan and the hopes of a close final shattered as Nandrajog ran past the number two seed 11-6 11-4 11-5 to lift the mens open title of the ISP-Sprite All India Squash Open Tennis Tournament on Wednesday.
In the boys under-17 category Pehlaj Bajwa of Chandigarh faced a threat from second seed Abhijit Malik before beating him 4-11 11-9 12-10 6-11 11-6. Delhis Janet Vidhi,who won the girls under-17 title after playing four games against Pankhuri Malhotra,dropped the third game and then fought back to clinch the issue with a 11-9 11-7 8-11 15-13 scoreline.
