Ranjan Ram and Disha Islam became champions of the Victory Day Tennis Tournament that concluded at the National Tennis Complex in Ramna yesterday. Men's second seed Ranjan upstaged the top seed Amol Roy in straight sets 6-3, 7-5. It was double delight for Ranjan who had earlier teamed up with Amol to win the doubles title beating the pair of Dipu Lal and Alamgir Hossain in a three-set encounter. The winners won the first set 6-3, but lost the second in tie-break. However, they took the third set 6-3 to claim the title.
In the women's section, top seed Disha Islam once again proved her superiority as she beat Shathi Sarker 6-3, 2-6, 6-1. It was sweet revenge for Disha who with partner Borsha had earlier lost the doubles final against Shathi Sarker and Sharmin Alam.
State minister for Science, Information and Communi-cation Yafes Osman handed out the prizes amongst the winners at the end of the tournament. A total of 96 players from across the country took part in the six-day tournament.
