  • Nitin Kirtane and Rushmi Chakravarthi Crowned As the Champions - 2000
    Nitin Kirtane and Rushmi Chakravarthi crowned as the champions - 2000 It was double delight for the seasoned professionals Nitin Kirtane and Rushmi Chakravarthi as both won a double crown each in asserting their domination. The 26-year-old Nitin was able to subdue the defending champion, the 17-year-old Chandigarh lad Sunil Kumar in four sets in the final. Except for winning the third set from being down 2-5, Sunil was unable to show any trick in a battle of two left-handers with contrasting styles. Quite understandable, Sunil has been focusing on the international junior circuit to build a strong foundation for his career. He was thus not ready to handle the wiles and guiles of the professionals like Nitin. Nitin was fresh from competing in the club league in Germany and was keen to prove himself all over again. ‘’I had to wipe out the bad memories of last year, when I conceded to Mustafa Ghouse in the quarterfinals’’, said Nitin, who had been part of the Indian Davis Cup team for the ties against the Czech Republic and Chile. In the women’s event, the 23-year-old Rushmi, who celebrated her birthday on the opening day of the tournament, made it a ‘no contest’ as she beat her doubles partner and defending champion Sai Jayalakshmy for the loss of three games in the new format, 4-1, 4-1, 4-1. While Rushmi was serving and stroking with ease, Sai struggled with her touch. Rushmi handled the talented bunch of girls with competence, as she beat Radhika Tulpule, Megha Vakharia and Sania Mirza with her attacking brand of tennis.

  • Vinod Sridhar and Isha Lakhani Assert the Supremacy of Left-Handers - 2002
    Vinod Sridhar and Isha Lakhani assert the supremacy of left-handers - 2002 It was a season of the left-handers, as Vinod Sridhar, Isha Lakhani and R. Arun Prakash won the men’s, women’s and the junior titles. In fact, it was a triple crown for the 17-year- old Mumbai girl Isha, as she won the women’s singles and doubles apart from the under- 18 girls singles title. Vinod had to tackle a tough field. He did so in style. The Chennai lad beat defending champion Vijay Kannan in the quarterfinals in straight sets, though it had to be conceded that the latter was not at his best as he was returning from a wrist injury. Accounted for the national junior champion, Somdev Dev Varman in the semifinals. He was adequately prepared for the final against the big-serving Mustafa Ghouse and cruised home in four sets after the first two sets had been intensely contested. Rohan Bopanna, the runner-up of the previous year had done very well in the season including a final appearance in the Asian Championship in Tashkent. A victory there would have fetched him a wild card for the Australian Open. He has done very well to jump into the big league despite losing to the defensive tactics of Vijay Kannan in the last edition. Having learnt his lessons, Bopanna opted to stay focused in the international league. Coming back to the current edition, the powerful serve and volley game of Mustafa Ghouse could not match the strong determination of Vinod Sridhar.
