Divyanshi, did meet tough challenge in the senior categories . She fought neck to neck before she prevailed over women’s top seed Sampada Bhiwandkar 11-4, 13-11, 11-8, 11-9. Later she went through another gruelling under-19 finals before she triumphed over Urvi Churi 11-9, 9-11, 11-5,11-5, 11-9. But for her under under-17 and under-15 finals, it was a cake-walk as she proved far superior from her rivals.
However, It was touch and go for Dhruv in the men’s singles final against favourite Yuvaj Yadav, but after dropping the first game he came roaring back to romp through next four games (6-11, 11-8, 12-10, 11-6, 11-7) to clinch his maiden men’s singles ltitle. Latter in the boys under-19 finals, Dhruv had tough time against top seeded Vineet Deepak.
