Rishabh Sharda of India cruised to the boys' singles title in the Islami Bank 31st Bangladesh International Junior Tennis Championships, which concluded at the Ramna National Tennis Complex yesterday.

The youngster had a rather comfortable victory over his compatriot Karan Srivastava, taking the tie in two sets (6-0, 6-1).

On the other hand, India's Riddhi Sharma failed to follow the footsteps of her compatriot as she lost the girls' singles final against Wanyi Zhang of China in straight sets (6-3, 6-0).

The Indians however grabbed the other two titles on offer. The Kevin Patel and Aaryan Zaver pair beat the Aman Patel and Jaishvin Sidana pair (6-1, 6-1) in the boys' doubles final while the Banerjee and Rachapudi pair beat the Ramesh Sharma and Saik pair (7-6, 6-2) to take the girls' doubles crown.
