Aditya Nandal produced a commanding performance to capture the Men’s Singles (Intermediate) crown at the Rackonnect Global Spa Picklefest, defeating Keshav Gupta in straight games 11-5, 11-2. Right from the opening exchanges, Nandal looked sharp and focused, taking control. Gupta tried to counter but Aditya’s consistency and ability to finish points proved too strong. The first game saw Gupta push hard to stay in touch, but Nandal’s ability to dictate rallies gave him a comfortable 11-5 lead. In the second game, Aditya raised his intensity, racing through points. His relentless pressure left Gupta struggling to find answers as the match slipped quickly out of reach. With this victory, Aditya Nandal stamped his authority in the intermediate category.
