In the 10-and-under final match, Zainuddin overwhelmed his Dutch opponent Manvydas Balciunas and won two clean sets "6-0, 6-0".
The boy's father, who has previously achieved the national 2nd ranked player, was delighted with his son’s achievement. “I have promised him a drift remote control car if he emerged champion here. I think it motivated him", The father said. "I had focused on his fitness for the last two months, and it paid dividends".
