BENGALURU: India's Tanisha Kashyap overcame a neck strain to clinch the ITF Open title on Sunday at the KSLTA Stadium. The eighth seed registered a come-from-behind victory over Akanksha Nitture 6-7, 6-1, 6-1 in the final to win her maiden international women's title.
After Kashyap won the final point of the match, which lasted two hours and 19 minutes, the contrasting displays of emotion on either side of the court reflected the scoreline. Kashyap was elated, she clenched her fists and let out a big grunt. Down the other hand, her opponent, the seventh seed, tossed her cap down and buried her face in her towel.
