Chief Guests Farokh Khodaiji and Katy Khodaiji (both former National Singles and Mixed Doubles champions) graced the event. Farokh and Katy Khodaiji, Mehli Golvala (President of the Gymkhana) and Baji Khambatta, India’s former No.2, gave away the prizes.
In the team events, after a hard-fought battle Malcolm Baug beat Salsette. In the Open Doubles quarter-finals, Neville Pithawalla and I, both representing PG, had to play out of our skins to get the better of the young emerging talents Sohrab Mehta and Ushaine Gandhi of Malcolm Baug, in a thrilling five-setter. The final match of the day in the Open Singles Finals saw top-seed Zubin Taraporewalla come up against third-seed Frenaz Chipia, who had earlier beaten second placed Sarosh Shroff. Frenaz put up a valiant fight before losing in the decider to Zubin.
