Kolkata, January 24 (IANS) Top seed India's Karman Kaur Thandi on Saturday lifted the Women's Singles Under 18 trophy at the ITF juniors here edging past Thailand's Y. Jittakoat 6-4, 7-5. Thandi, from 1-3 down in the first set, grabbed it by a close 6-4. She went down again in the second set, as the scoreboard displayed 5-2 in favour of Jittakoat.
From there, the 16-year-old Thandi made a stunning comeback as she won five consecutive games to win the championship in one hour 50 minutes.
In the Boys Singles Under 18, top-seeded Aryan Goveas was tamed for the first six games as Taipei's Cing Yang Meng, the 3rd seed of the draw, quickly pocketed the opening set by a dominating 6-0 in less than 30 minutes.
The second set saw a comeback from India's Goveas as he rallied to win the set by a close 7-5, taking the match to the decider.
