Karthik, Roshini win

Chennai: M. Karthik of Don Bosco was a point away from defeat, but held his nerve to win the senior boys’ title at the Mylapore Club-Sportstar city schools’ knockout table tennis tournament for non-rankers on Sunday.

Karthik beat Nishanth Nandakumar (PSBB-KK Nagar) 11-6, 6-11, 11-4, 3-11, 13-11 in the final.

The 16-year-old’s offensive play put him 4-1 ahead in the decider, but Nishanth fought back to make it 4-4. Timeouts at crucial times made it a see-saw game that went to 9-9 before Nishanth was a point away from the title.

But Karthik kept it accurate to take the lead again, and claim the win.

J.P. Roshini of St. John’s defeated R. Kiruthika (Rukmani) 11-6, 4-11, 11-8, 11-5 to win the girls’ title.
