This week in high level J300 tournament in Sarawak, Malaysia we had a terrific run by 2 Indian boys – Yuvan Nandal and Aryan Shah. There were seeded 5th and 3rd respectively. But, they did better than ranking and made it to the first all Indian final at this level in a long time.
And in the final, Yuvan Nandal beat Aryan in straight sets to become the first Indian boy to win a title of this level since Sumit Nagal in 2015.
With that title, Yuvan will enter top 40 and with runner up finish, Aryan will enter top 50.


Both are now assured of making the main draw of all the junior grand slams for the rest of the year.

Vihaan was unranked last week but he will be around top-800 in the world now and in the Indian top-25 junior rankings on Monday. The youngest in that list with everybody else but Manas being 2 to 4 years older.
