LUCKNOW, July 3 -- Vansh Bisht and Deep Munim on Thursday set up a title clash at the AITA Men's Rs 1 Lakh Tennis Tournament, notching up contrasting wins, at the Kesari Tennis Academy here. In the first semi-final, Delhi's fourth seed Bisht delivered a commanding performance to defeat Maharashtra's sixth seed Nirav Shetty 6-2, 6-0. Bisht, who has been in consistent form at the academy circuit, dictated play from the baseline, combining depth with timely net approaches that kept Shetty on the back foot. The emphatic scoreline underlined Bisht's superior serve placement and return aggression, allowing him to close out the match in comfortable straight sets and book his place in the final. The other semi-final was a much tighter affair as Madhya Pradesh's second seed Munim edged out Haryana's Prashant Proacha in a dramatic three-setter, 4-6, 7-5, 6-4. Munim showed resilience after dropping the first set, gradually taking control through improved first-serve percentages and sharper forehands. Both players traded momentum through long rallies and crucial service games, but Munim's composure at pivotal moments - notably converting break opportunities late in the second and third sets - proved decisive. The men's doubles semis also provided entertaining doubles tactics and teamwork. The pairing of Sarthak Gulati and Ajay Malik overcame Amit Moond and Aditya Tinjani 7-6 (2), 6-4 in a disciplined display of serve-and-volley tennis. Gulati and Malik excelled in clutch situations, taking the tie-break convincingly and then securing an early break in the second set to close the match. In the other semi-final, Parth Deorukhakar and Nirav Shetty beat Ayush Sharma and Vansh Bisht 6-4, 7-6(4). The Maharashtrian duo combined crisp volleys and coordinated poaching to nullify their opponents' singles firepower, especially in the tense second-set tie-break. Lucknow's Yash Dayal Gupta has added another remarkable achievement to his sporting career by winning the gold medal at the Asian Taekwondo Championship, held in Goa.
