Rawat to take on Vardhan in national tennis final


New Delhi, Oct 10 (IANS): Siddharth Rawat continued his good run to record another win over top seed Karunuday Singh in the men's singles semi-final to set up a title clash against Vishnu Vardhan at the Fenesta Open National Tennis Championships here Friday.

Defending champion Prerna Bhambri made it to her third successive women's singles final and will play Karman Kaur Thandi in the summit clash.

P.C. Vignesh and Kaza V. Sharma notched a 6-3, 6-2 win over Nitten Kirrtane and Saurav Sukul to win the men's doubles title.

Siddharth, who knocked out defending champion Mohit Mayur Jayaprakash Thursday, came up with another brilliant effort to beat Karunuday 6-4, 6-1.

Vishnu also recorded a hard fought victory over Ronit Bisht. Vishnu, who was runner-up to Yuki Bhambri in 2011, defeated sixth seed Ronit 6-3, 6-7(4), 6-4 to sail into the final.

In women's singles, Vaishnavi Peddireddy could not continue her impressive run and had to concede the match to Karman after complaining of shoulder pain. Having lost the first set 4-6, Karman won the second 6-1 and was leading 3-0 in the decider when Vaishnavi conceded the match.

In the second semi-final, Prerna outplayed second seed Shweta Rana 6-3, 6-2.
