Raghav stuns top seed Akshay in junior national tennis
Top seed I.B. Akshay's campaign in the boys Under-16 of the Fenesta Open National Tennis Championships came to an end Tuesday after a straight sets loss to Raghav Jaisinghani.
Raghav stormed into the third round with a 6-2, 6-3 win at the R.K. Khanna Tennis Complex here.
Second seed Vishnu B. Prasad overcame a stiff challenge from Kushan Nath in a three setter.
Vishnu got his act together just in time to make it to the third round with a 6-2, 3-6, 7-5 win.
Fourth seed Fatehdeep Singh from Punjab looked in complete control during his 6-1, 6-0 win over Siddharth Anand while Deepak Vishwakarma, seeded sixth, and seventh seed Dhruv Pal Singh were the other prominent names to make early exits.
M. Sai Nikhil edged past Deepak with a 7-5, 6-4 win while Aryan Goveas thrashed Dhruv 6-2, 6-1.
Ninth seed Raswant Ravi was also sent packing as he hardly posed a challenge to Dalwinder Singh, who strolled into the next round with a 6-4, 6-1 win.
In the girls Under-16, Snehal Umesh Mane produced a gallant effort to upset third seed Karman Kaur Thandi. Both girls fought hard for a place in the third round but it was Snehal who held her nerves to emerge the victorious 1-6, 6-4, 7-6(5).
The other top seeds did not have problems to clear the second round, sailing into the next stage.
Top seed S. Sneha Devi lost just one game in her 6-1, 6-0 win over Jahnvi Gupta while second seed Pranjala Yadlapalli shut the door on Sama Sathvika 6-2, 6-0. Akshara Iska, seeded fourth, and fifth seed Himani Mor also made it to the third round.
