Syed Aqil won his first title of the season by overcoming Pruchya Isarov 7-6 (7-3) in the first set before the Thai retired due to injury.
“I am happy to have won a title on this tour. It will motivate me to train harder for future tournaments,” said Syed Agil yesterday.
In doubles, Abdul Hazli Zainuddin-Ahmad Deedat Razak, brushed aside Khoo Er Yang-Pruchya Isarov 6-2 6-3 in the final.
Theiviya recorded her maiden victory over a WTA Tour ranked player by edging Uzbekistan’s World No 1,177 Polina Merenkova 6-4, 6-4 in the women’s singles final.
She then partnered Ti Jia Wei in doubles, where they defeated Jawairiah Noordin-Yus Syazlin Nabila Yusri 2-6, 6- 3, 11-9 for the title.
Theiviya, 17, will begin her professional career on the tour soon.
“I am delighted to record a win over a player ranked on the tour,” said Theiviya, the daughter of former national No 1 S. Selvarajoo.
