A 17-year old girl from Bihar has won the British Open Deaf Tennis Championship - a first by an Indian.
Patna's Shilpi Jaiswal won the under-18 championship title Saturday at Nottingham, Britain. She defeated Sweden's Fatima Tebibel in straight sets 6-2, 6-1 in the final.
Shilpi, who is deaf by birth, is the first Indian girl not only to win the title but also to participate in this championship.
