Manav, Yashaswini win maiden National TT crowns

INDORE: (Mar 21) Petroleum Sports Promotion Board (PSPB) paddlers Manav Thakkar and Yashaswini Ghorpade clinched their maiden singles titles at the Senior National Table Tennis Championships here on Saturday.

In the men’s final, top seed Manav lived up to the expectations with a commanding 4-1 (11-2 11-4 6-11 11-9 11-3) victory over Jeet Chandra of Railway Sports Promotion Board (RSPB).

The PSPB star dominated from the outset, racing through the opening two games with ease. Although Jeet briefly pushed back to take the third game, he struggled to replicate the sharp form that carried him through the semifinals.
