Fancied players Aditya Khanna, Nitin Kirtane and Mayur Vasant lived up to expectations in the respective age groups to walk away with double glory in the Mumbai ITF on Friday.


While all three had facile wins in their singles encounters, they were made to toil hard in the doubles finals, especially Khanna and his partner Vipin Sirpaul in the 35+ category, who were taken the distance by Ajai Selvaraj and Rewant Datta, but held their nerves at the crucial juncture to win in the super tie-breaker.
 
Kirtane and partner Nikhil Rao complemented each other on court to quell the challenge from Moorthy and Bhatia 6-1, 6-2 for Rao’s maiden ITF title. The women’s singles title was won by Dr. Jyotsna Patel, who defeated Nazneen Rahman 6-2, 6-2.
