Shruti ousts Sai
For the second day running, Shruti Dhawan emerged heroine in the Knockout ITF women8217;s satellite tennis tournament. The sixth seed, who had ousted No 3 seed Anna Nefedova on Thursday, scripted yet another tale of upset on Friday by showing tournament favourite Sai Jayalakshmy the door with a gritty 7-6 7-0, 7-6 7-2 win. That Shruti did not wilt under the pressure when playing the tie-break should be a factor her opponent in the final slated for the morrow Rushmi Chakravarthi should be wary of.
