The championship goes to the favorites

Ram / Raman showed great skills to win the match in 3 sets(4-6,6-3,6-4). Very hard fought match and few points here and there could have made a difference. But that's Monday morning QBing.

The other match too reached great heights and in the end Manoj and Sudhakar stood victorious.
