Impressive performance by Tavish Pahwa! Winning as an 8th seed shows that rankings don't always tell the full story. His consistent baseline play was a treat to watch.

The doubles matches sound equally thrilling, especially that Boys' U-16 final where Tavish and Prakaash came back after losing the first set 1-6. That's some fighting spirit!
