Young Himanshu Mor led the charge of the seeds as he ousted Alagappan Kanagasabai 6-3, 6-4 in the under-14 section of the Fenesta Open Juniors National tennis championship here today.
With a packed schedule running in the second week and matches also being played under lights, the action has been thick and full of interest for the budding talent.
In another under-14 boys' match, promising Shashank Theertha, the fifth seed, was in command as he stroked freely to get past Abdul Kareem Khan 6-3, 6-4 while S Boopathy rallied in a match of fluctuating fortunes before beating Siddhant Bhavnani 2-6, 6-2, 6-2.
In the girls' under-14 section, top seed Prinkle Singh was in comfort zone as she moved past Sandeepti Singh Rao 6-0, 7-5 in a well contested second set. Third seed Anjum Shaik needed less time to outslug Trisha Vinod 6-1, 6-2 in the same section.
Parikshit Somani underlined his supremacy in the under-16 section by toying with Sanket Tomar as he won 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.
