Rajkot, October 16: Petroleum Sports Promotion Board’s Manav Thakkar defeated Telangana’s Snehit Suravajjula 4-1 (11-6, 7-11,11-9, 11-9, 11-8) to retain the Junior Boys singles crown in the 11Even Sports National Ranking (West Zone) Table Tennis Championships here today.

The Junior Girls title went the way of Airports Authority of India’s Archana Girish Kamath. She downed Rajasthan’s Priyanka Pareek in straight games of 1-5, 11-4, 117, 11-7 to wrest the trophy after she was knocked out early in the Central Zone championships at Indore. She had, however, won the Youth Girls trophy there.

Manav, who also had won the Youth title at Indore, had to satisfy himself with the lone title here.
