NEW YORK: Pakistani teenage tennis star Hania Minhas claimed Girls Singles, Doubles and Mixed Doubles titles in the 12 and below Division at the recently concluded Little Mo Internationals tournament held in New York, US. 

According to the details, Hania outclassed her opponent Juliana Castellanos Trujillo in the Girls’ Singles in straight sets with scores of 6-1,6-1. She then teamed up with Juliane for the doubles competition and defeated the pair of Nella Glowacka and Janita Files with a score of 8,3. In the Mixed Doubles, Hania paired up with Thomas O’Neil and claimed her third title as they beat Ishaan Yadlapalli and Elizabeth Sabaev with a score of 8,5 in the final.

“These trophies mean a lot to me and I want to continue playing to the best of my abilities,” said Haniya after her remarkable feat. It is pertinent to mention here that the “Little Mo” tournaments feature rising tennis stars (aged 8-12) and play a crucial role in grooming their abilities.  Little Mo is named after Maureen Connolly, the winner of nine major singles titles and the first woman to win a Grand Slam. She is also the only player in history to win a title without losing a set at all four major championships and was a leading player of the 1950s.
