Kolkata, March 05: Young Aishwarya Agrawal continued her giant-killing spree, stunning fourth seed Rishika Sunkara of Delhi to storm into the final of National Grasscourt Tennis Championship at the South Club courts here today.
The unseeded Aishwarya will take on third seed Kyra Shroff in the women’s single final, while the men’s summit clash will see reigning champion Ashutosh Singh lock horns with sixth seed A S Suresh Krishna.
Returning from a prolonged injury layoff that saw her missing a big part of the previous season, 17-year-old Aishwarya showed fine court-craft and control as she bounced back from a set deficit to oust Rishika 2-6 6-4 6-4 in a battle lasting two hours and 15 minutes.
Earlier, the Madhya Pradesh girl had scalped defending champion and second seeded Ankita Raina of Gujarat in the first round.
