Nazruddin Asgarali claimed the veteran title on day two of the Trinidad and Tobago Table Tennis Association Senior Nationals Tournament at the National Racquet Centre, Tacarigua.
Asgarali won the title with relative ease securing a 3-1 victory over Franklyn Seechan in the final. The former national player and US-based Asgarali started the tournament as the favourite following the absence of multiple winner David Mahabir who recently won the 70-74 age category of the European men`s veteran single title in Norway.
Asgarali defeated Seechan 11:8, 11:7, 9:11, 11:2 in the entertaining final. In the semi-final, Asgarali defeated Faiz Mohammed 3-0 (11:7, 11:5, 11:6) whilst Seechan blew past Nigel Morgan 3-0 (11:7, 11:5, 11:2).
