Parikshit Somani of Assam and Mahak Jain of host state Maharashtra clinched the boys' and girls' national hard court under 16 singles titles respectively at the Ramesh Desai Memorial tournament here today.
Somani, the boys' third seed, outclassed his fifth-seeded rival Adil Kalyanpur of Karnataka to race ahead in the opening set that he won 6-0 when the latter conceded the match complaining of cramps in the intense heat and humidity at the MSLTA's courts.
The girls' final also ended in similar fashion with Telangana girl Sathwika Sama pulling out after losing the first set due to stomach pain.
Mahak clinched the opening set 6-2 and was leading 1-0 in the second when her rival threw in the towel.
