Punjab's Dalwinder Singh was at his aggressive best while quelling the spirited challenge of Tamil Nadu's Suresh Dhakshineswar in the men's singles final of the Khar Gymkhana-All India men's ranking 5-lakh prize money tennis tournament.
The 22-year-old lad from Ludhiana triumphed 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 with tie lasting just little over an hour.
While Dalwinder just needed one break to clinch the first set, Suresh hit back to go 4-1 ahead only to see Dalwinder catch up to equalise 4-all.
Suresh, however, did not let go as he broke Dalwinder to lead 5-4 and then served hard to clinch the set.
But then Dalwinder was at his aggressive best as he served and volleyed effectively to clinch the final.
