The girl in form and student of Ave Maria Convent Anjalika Kurera continued her winning streak as she clinched her second title of the ongoing 104th Colombo Championship when she coasted to a convincing 2-0 win over Tania Doloswala in the Under 18 girl’s final played at the SLTA tennis courts in Greenpath, Colombo yesterday morning.
Anjalika who clinched the Women’s Open title with another easy win over Rukshika Wijesooriya, was in top form as she cruised to a comfortable victory. Anjalika, the top seeded player, kept up to her expectations as she never gave the fourth seeded Tania a chance to make any headway whilst going on to pull off the game with an easy win in the second set. She so far has had a successful stint. In the run up to the final, she defeated Alana Seneviratne in the semi-final. In the Women’s Open title she defeated Sri Lanka champion and top seeded player Anika Seneviratne who last month won the National Clay court championship in the semi final encounter.
Anjalika was fourth seeded in the Women’s Open event and she overcame third seeded Rukshika Wijesooriya by two 2-0 to clinch the title with ease. This was her second successive title.
Result:
Under-18 Final: Anjalika Kurera beat Tania Doloswala 2-0 (6/2, 6/0)
