Double for Manjusha

Teaming up with long time friend and doubles partner, Archana Deodhar of Maharashtra, she pushed aside the challenge of Larissa and Pooja Parikh Railways 15-5, 15-12 in an encounter lasting two minutes under the hour.

In the men8217;s final, No 3 Gupta defeated unseeded Ratti 15-12, 15-6. Surprisingly, the encounter lasted just five minutes more than the woman8217;s final.

In the woman8217;s final, No 3 Larissa began aggressively and had a 3-0 headstart, which solely was due to the unforced errors of her opponent, committed by hitting a high return toss long and netted a return trying to go for a dribble at the net.

Overcoming the initial blues, top-seeded Manjusha, came up with the occasional flash of brilliance particularly at the net.

Larissa looked all set to take the first game building up a 6-2 lead at mid-way stage. However, Manjusha8217;s net game proved the winner as a couple of dribbles won at the net had the No 1 seed claw her way back to level scores 6-6.
