Goyal,
Dubey emerge Champs
Indian
Express : 14/6/2003
Top
seed Gaurav Nandrajog of Delhi was in a class of is own as he outplayed
Jindal’s Vikas Jangra 15-10,15-10, 15-9 to lift the singles title in the
ISP-Tulip Star doubles handicap and singles invitation squash tournament,
which concluded at the Hotel Tulip Star, here, on Thursday.
The
doubles title was won by Tulip Star’s Sanjay Goel and G C Dubey, who
made the most of their handicap advantage to defeat Avinash Bavnani and
Anurag Gill of Otters Club 15-5, 13-15, 15-10.
Nandrajog,
ranked No. 2 in the country in the under-19 age group, used the tournament
to gain valuable match practice before the Otters Open and his good form
was much in evidence as he totally dominated the proceedings against
Jangra. Jangra, who relies more on stamina to wear down his opponent,
found in Nandrajog an equally fit player who could match him stroke for
stroke. Nandrajog, however, held the edge because of his wider range of
strokes and superior court craft.
Nandrajog
won Rs 6,000 for his efforts, while the doubles winners gained Rs 8,000.
MP Sanjay Nirupam was the chief guest and gave away the prizes.
