Punjab University Campus were lucky not to be declared defaulters after an aggravative unsportmanship behaviour by JP Singh in the first reverse singles. The PU Campus player shouted at the chair umpire for a baseline call which was correct in the second set (5-3) against Birbal Wadehra of DAV College. The match referee took a lenient view after J P Singh apologised to the chair umpire. JP Singh was also earlier given `soft warning' for time violation.

J P Singh lost the first reverse singles to Birbal. Singh won the first set 4-6 but due to erratic play and temparment lost the next two sets at 6-4, 6-1. This put DAV College and PU Campus at par (2-all).

At the adjacent court Sarbarinder Singh, son of late hockey Olympion Surjit Singh Randhawa caused a major upset as he shocked experienced Gagandeep Wasu. After going down fighting in the first set at 4-6, Sarbarinder Singh fought back with vengeance. A stubborn Wasu and spirited Sarbarinder Singh traded stroke for stroke. The DAV College player won the second set at 7-5 after fighting for every point. The third set was also a clif-hanger. The players were tied at six-all and Sarbarinder Singh clinched the issue in the tie-breaker at 7-6.

DAV College and PU Campus today resumed their battle in the doubles after the game was discontinued yesterday due to failing light. At that stage, the teams were tied one-all. However, PU Campus' Gagandeep Wasu and J P Singh won the doubles against Birbal Wadhera and Vivek 7-6, 3-6, 7-5.

Government College, Sector 11 defeated Punjab Engineering College by 3-1 for the third and fourth places.

It was Vikas Sharma who played a key role in steering his team to victory. He first defeted Viabhav Dhawan 7-5, 6-4 in the first singles and later partnered Rohit to beat Nakul Dhawan and Vaibhav 7-5, 6-2 in the doubles. He also won his reverse singles against Nakul Dhawan 6-4, 6-4.
