15 yrs old Rutuja Bhosale created history lifting prestigious Asian Closed Junior Championships ... In whole tournament she only lost a set in the second round ... Otherwise she scored dominating victories including top-seed Japanese and in the final over more experienced Ratnika ... This win will help Rutuja to enter into top 100 Junior girls ranking.

Arjun also had excellent tournament though he failed to lift the title ... He will enter into top 70 Junior boys ranking, very near to make entry into junior grand slams.

Another impressive performance by 14 yrs old Sahil Deshmukh in his first Asian Closed Junior Championships ... He lost in semi-final against top-seed Gao but until then he scored one after another impressive wins.

These all 3 players r from Pune and supported by Lakshya Sports.
