Its been a while since Delhi tennis player Rohit Bisht has lasted far into a tournament week,a far cry from the days when the former national No 1 in his category used to race his way to titles.
The prolonged slump in form continued on Wednesday,when Haryanas Ajay Yadav methodically dismantled his game in a 6-4 7-6 (5) victory at the Under-16 Nationals in Mumbai. Rohit was seeded third in the tournament.
His younger brother Ronit,however,ensured there would be at least one Bisht in the quarter-final line-up after he got past R Ramkumar of Tamil Nadu 7-6 6-3.
In the quarters,second seed Ronit will face Digvijay Singh Mehta of Himachal Pradesh. Fifth seed Mehta took out Gujarats Suraj Konwar after a three-set battle at the MSLTA courts on Wednesday. He won the match 7-6 5-7 6-0.
In the girls event,Delhis Simran Kaur Sethi,part of the Mission 2018 contingent training at Mahesh Bhupathis tennis academy in Bangalore,lost to 12th seed Sharon Paul of Tamil Nadu 6-3 6-3.
Another player from the Capital,unseeded Nehal Sahni pulled off a big win over 11th seed Vaidehi Bhagwat of Maharashtra in a gritty three-setter,winning 4-6 7-5 6-3. No 13 seed Sweta Shri Hari of Tamil Nadu,fell to Jasmine K Bajaj of Delhi 6-3 6-3.
