Mohit sets up clash against Arjun in men's final

Mohit Mayur Jayaprakash and Arjun Kadhe entered the men's singles final of the Fenesta Open National tennis championship here today after registering contrasting victories.
The two men's singles finalists, who will be up against each other in the grand finale, today combined to lift the men's doubles title with a 6-4 6-4 victory over P C Vignesh and Fariz Mohammed at the R K Khanna Tennis Complex.
The women's singles final tomorrow will see defending champion Prerna Bhambri up against top seed Shweta Rana.
Earlier in the day, Mohit got the better of former national champion Nitten Kirtane 6-1 2-6 6-2 in a hard fought battle in the semifinals.

In contrast, Arjun had a relatively easy outing against Chandril Sood, who he defeated 6-2 6-1.
In the two women's singles semifinal clashes, Shweta came from a set down to edge past fifth seed Sharmada Balu 4-6 6-1 6-1, while Prerna knocked out sixth seed C Sai Samhitha 6-2 6-1 comfortably.

The big-serving Mohit broke Nitten in the fourth and sixth game of the opening set to finish it in barely 30 minutes.
However, Nitten brought all his experience into play and broke his rival twice in the second to take the match into the decider. But failed to sustain, even as Mohit sealed the issue.

In the boys Under-18 doubles final, Deepak Vishwakarma and Aditya Deswal got the better of Alex Solanki and B R Nikshep 6-3 6-4, while the pair of Snehal Mane and Nandini Sharma were crowned champions in the girls U-18 doubles with a 6-0 4-6 10-7 win over Vanshika Sawhney and Himani Mor.
