Ramit triumphs in Abu Dhabi

The third seed Indian toppled the more experienced and top seed Omar Abdel Meguid of Egypt 11-6, 6-11, 11-3, 11-2 in an exciting one-hour match to lift the title, the third of his career.

Steady has been Ramit’s watchword in this tournament and the young man played true to his potential. Beating an opponent who is 20 rungs above him in PSA rankings is not an easy task but Ramit lifted his game just that bit to make his opponent work hard and that unsettled the Egyptian. This is their first meeting on the professional circuit.
