A sporting Vrishitha Sambathkumar, 13, of Arya Vidya Mandir (Juhu) recorded twin victories by winning back-to-back matches to advance into the quarter-finals of the girls' U-14 singles event of the MSSA-organised inter-school lawn tennis championship, at the MSSA Sports Centre tennis courts yesterday.

The bespectacled Vrishitha displayed an all-round game as she served and returned well to tame Arya Ramgawde of St Peter's winning 5-1 in the best-of-nine-games second round match. Meanwhile, Vrishitha, who had hardly broke a sweat in her win over Arya, later agreed to also play her pre-quarter-final match against Annya Shah of Jamnabai Narsee (Vile Parle), who had been awarded a walkover as her opponent of Canossa school did not report for the match.
