Kalani swings Imran out

Junaid is now up for a double, with the possibility of winning both under-19 and under-17 events like he had in the Maharashtra State Open. For Junaid, though, the tournament is different, venue is different, but the opponents are same — Neerav Tomar in under-17 and Mihir Kapoor in under-19.

Deepali Anvekar, having won the under-19 ousting Joshna Chinnappa 9-1 9-1 9-2, now will take on Mekhla Subedar in the women’s final.

Gauran Nandrajog of Delhi avenged his defeat by Mihir Sheth in the State Open as he clinched the under-15 title from Sheth without dropping a game.

In the Open event, Gajendra Singh Rathore conceded his match to R S Brar when the games were 7-all in the first set due to hamstring injury. In the other semis, Navneet Narain of Services brushed aside Anshul Manchanda 9-3 9-6 9-4.

In the Professional event, Santosh More beat Chandrakant Pawar, who will meet Gopi Mohite in the finals. Mohite outclassed Anant More of CCI 9-1 9-5 9-3.
