Rahul stuns Hari, takes title

Alappuzha: Rahul Binu Mathew (AYTTA) shocked top seed and State No. 1 M. Hari Krishnan to win the men's title in the 54th YMCA all-Kerala table tennis tournament at the YMCA hall here on Sunday. Rahul won 6-11, 11-9, 11-4, 7-11, 11-8, 7-11, 11-9.

Maria completed a double by winning the junior girls' title.
