National Tennis Championship: Prakaash Sarran, Hruthik Katakam and Tavish Pahwa record dominant wins to march into the next round of the National Tennis Championship at the DLTA Complex in New Delhi on Monday.

Sixth seed Hruthik Katakam beat Rudra Batham 6–2, 6–1 in a clinical display that lasted 1 hour 10 minutes. Hruthik did not face a single break point throughout the match, breaking Batham’s serve five times across two sets to seal a convincing win.

On the other hand, eighth seed Tavish Pahwa delivered a composed performance to beat Gyansh Manchanda 6–3, 6–1. Pahwa broke serve midway through the opening set and carried that momentum into a one-sided second set, showing his class and shot-making from the baseline.
