Two-time National champion Mahak Jain defeated Sada Nahimana of Burundi 6-1, 6-1 victory in the final of the $15,000 ITF women’s tournament.
It was the second successive singles title for the 18-year-old Mahak who had won the tournament last week at the same venue.
Mahak had more reasons to be happy as she won the doubles title with Sathwika Sama. After a not so impressive season, it was a smart return to winning ways for Mahak, who had made the semifinals of the $25,000 tournament in Navi Mumbai in December last year.
Meanwhile, in the doubles final of the Challenger in Meerbusch, Germany, Sriram Balaji and Vishnu Vardhan were beaten 10-3 in the super tie-break by Andre Begemann of Germany and Florin Mergea of Romania, after two intense sets that went into the tie-break.
The Indian pair collected 48 ATP points and €1,550. The champion team pocketed 80 points and €2070.
The results:
€46,600 Challenger, Meerbusch, Germany: Doubles (final): Andre Begemann (Ger) & Florin Mergea (Rou) bt Sriram Balaji & Vishnu Vardhan 7-6(1), 6-7(4), [10-3].
