A similar occurrence was witnessed in the male open decider, but Stanley, who has been formally trained to teach the sport here, prevailed 2-0 ( 21-17, 26-24) over Nimron Daniel as the two squared off in the final.
And, Lynch outplayed Unica Velox in the female final 2-0 ( 21-16, 21-10) to set her way to meet other regional competitors.
