Good to see the Indian players dominating this event, although a Grade-3 junior event is too low-level for a guy like Siddhant Banthia. I hope he will use these points to propel himself to higher-level tournaments in the next few months. The immediate goal (from his current combined junior ranking of 74) should be to make it to top-50, do well at the AO juniors, and then use that to ensure he plays all the junior Slams in 2018 while focusing more on the pro circuit (Futures).

Siddhant and Vaidaihi won the titles.

At MSLTA - Gadre Seafoods ITF Junior Championship (Grade 3)

[F] Siddhant BANTHIA (IND) [1] 6-4 6-3 Abhimanyu VANNEMREDDY (IND) [7]

[F] Vaidehi CHAUDHARI (IND) [3] 6-2 6-1 Akanksha A BHAN (IND) [1]

So, Siddhant defend his title. He will stay around 75 in the ITF junior ranking as of now and will move up to around 40 when 1999 boys go out of rankings at the end of the year. He will surely be there in the main draw of AO juniors and decent performance in few high level junior tournaments early in the year can ensure him to play all the junior slams next year.
