However, their sister Mharish Ali was shortened in the finals of the girls under 15 years, as she lost an exciting match for five games 15-13, 5-11, 12-10, 6-11, 11-4 to Emily Kabbar after 22 minutes of intense play.
On the side of the boys, Azan Ali Khan won the title of boys U17 with a victory 3-0 (11-6, 11-4, 11-9) on Henry Kroos in 23 minutes. Meanwhile, Ahmed Ali Naz won the U11 Children’s Final, and defeated Freddy Goldsmith in four games 5-11, 11-2, 11-6, 11-6.
