Inbar, Dev Varman to clash
in boys' final

Amit Inbar of Israel demolished compatriot Dor Werteimer in straight sets to set up a title clash with India's fifth seeded Somdev Dev Varman in the boys' singles section in the Bharat Petroleum-ITF Junior World ranking tennis tournament in Kolkata on Friday.

Inbar, who has displayed very good form right through the championship, had no difficulty in disposing of Werteimer with a 6-2, 6-3 victory.

Somdev Dev Varman also did not face much resistance as he spanked qualifier V M Ranjeet, winning 6-4, 6-2 in 70 minutes.

In the girls' singles section, second seeded Isha Lakhani of India prevailed over Sun Sheng-Nan of China 6-2, 6-1 victory to romp into the final.

She will meet eighth seeded Du Rui of China, who unleashed an aggressive brand of tennis to tame third seeded Sanaa Bhambri of India 6-0, 6-4.

The second seed duo of Amanjot Singh and Vikram Aditya Menon of India clinched the boys' doubles crown with a hard-fought 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 victory over the third-seeded Indian pair of Saurabh Kohli and Rishi Behl in a keenly-contested encounter.

The Chinese pair of Rui Du and Sheng Nan Sun claimed the honour in the girls' doubles section with a 6-4, 6-2 triumph over compatriots Hsuan Hwang and Yung Jan Yung.
