Ashwini takes U-10 crown

In a completely one-sided final in which Ashwini stamped her authority in no uncertain terms, Prarthana Anand offered no more than token resistance on her way to an 8-21, 6-21 defeat.

Ashwini also won through to the semifinals of the under-13 category, with a slightly hard-fought win over Archana Pai 21-14, 21-18. Joining her in the last four were Mahima Agarwal, Apeksha Nayak and Chinmayi Venkatesh, the latter having to put her best foot forward to quell a strong challenge from Aditi D 14-21, 21-14, 21-13.

There was some consolation for Aditi when she linked up with Tanvee SK to clinch the doubles crown in the under-13 category. Aditi and Tanvee overcame Archana Pai and Apeksha Nayak 21-12, 21-16 in the title clash.
