Rishi who had lost to Ishaque in both their earlier encounters came well prepared today. He moved faster, served and returned better, forcing his opponent to commit a series of unforced errors. It was the fifth career title for the 23-year-old in the men's category.
"I am glad to have played some of my best tennis in this tournament. I dedicate the win to my coach Jorge Pinilla who came to watch me play despite being unwell," said Rishi.
"I hope to play well in the Nationals and the upcoming ITFs," he added.
Meanwhile, Vanshita who is on a comeback trail after being out of the action for the last two years was in complete control of her match today.
The 19-year-old, who had beaten her opponent in their earlier meeting, proceeded with her game plan of keeping the ball in play and occasionally charged the net which fetched her good results during the match.
