ISLA MABAD - Saeed ul Haq and Sadan ul Haq have clinched the titles of men's singles and Under-17 singles competitions respectively of the 7th Siraj ul Haq Memorial Tennis Championship by beating their respective opponents at PTF Tennis Complex, on Saturday. However, the ladies final will be played today at the same venue, which was postponed yesterday due to light rain in Islamabad. Saeed ul Haq thrashed his younger brother Ikram ul Haq 2-0 in the men's singles to get the top honour of the 7th edition of the Sirj ul Haq Memorial Tennis Championship. He started the game with confidence to tackle low ranked opponent and succeeded to break the 6th game of Ikram.
