Vivek Shokeen overcame top seed Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan to win the boys' title while Madura Ranganathan went down with a whimper in the girls' singles final at the Grade-2 ITF junior tennis championships at the DLTA Complex in New Delhi on Saturday.

Vivek, the second seed and junior national champion, weathered a stiff challenge from Jeevan to win 7-5, 6-3.

If the boys' singles final was keenly contested, the girls' summit clash turned out to be an anti-climax as Indian hope Madura put up a lame performance against fifth seed Amina Rakhim of Kazakhstan.

Madura, who had a splended run to the final upsetting top seed Xeniya Palkina on the way, failed to put up any sort of resistance and was outplayed 6-2, 6-0.

The third leg of the junior circuit will be held in Chandigarh from Monday.
