Anika Seneviratne of Ladies College on Saturday cruised to her third successive National Clay Court Championship victory defeating Savini Jayasooriya of Bishop’s College comfortably 6/2 and 6/1.

Sri Lanka Tennis after a six-month break owing to COVID-19 kicked off the Nationals which was originally scheduled in mid-March.

In extremely hot and humid conditions, Anika had to work hard and took a few matches during the tournament to find her rhythm before the final.

Anika has previously led the Sri Lanka Women’s tennis team to a Silver Medal at the South Asian Games in December last year and also won Sri Lanka’s only individual medal.
