Young doubles pair of Shlok Ramchandran and MR Arjun clinched back-to-back titles at the 40th ISC Apex Elite Championship with a straight-game win in the finals at Abu Dhabi.
A week after bagging the 26th Iran Fajr International Challenge title at Tehran last Sunday, Shlok and Arjun notched up a 23-21, 21-18 win over Denmark's Rasmus Fladberg and Christian Lind Thomsen in the summit clash to bag the title on Sunday.
The world No. 54 Indian combination had beaten two Indonesian pairs -- Angger Sudrajad and Afiat Wirawan and Rafiddias Nugroho and Rian Syaoqi -- in the quarter-final and semi-final to reach the finals.
The only loss they suffered in the tournament was at the Group D stage against compatriots Nandagopal Kidambi and Rupesh Kumar in the opening tie.
