Mumbai :  Chinmay Dattar of Pune and Manushree Patil of Mumbai Suburban won a double each, in the 4th YMCA Maharashtra State Ranking table tennis tournament, at the University Stadium.

Top seed Divya Mahajan of Mumbai Suburban won the women’s crown, while Anniruddha Marathe of Thane won the junior boys title.

Giant-killer Dattar, of Shri K.N. College of Engineering, who shocked top seed Noel Pinto in the semi-finals, overcame formidable Omkar Torgalkar of Mumbai Suburban 4-2 in the men’s final and upset fifth seed Shubham Ambre of Mumbai City 4-1 in the youth final, for his maiden double crown.

“I had beaten Omkar on two earlier occasions, so I went into the final without the fear (of losing),” said Kothrud lad Dattar. “Yet, one cannot be complacent against a quality player like Omkar. I had to play to a plan and avoid committing too many mistakes.”

India and Maharashtra sub junior No. 1 Manushree Patil of Dr. S. Radhakrishnan College, Malad beat arch-rival Ashlesha Trehan in the junior and youth girls’ finals, also for her maiden double, to end a rewarding journey in the competition which included a stunning win over youth top seed Rutuja Khopkar in the quarter-finals.
