BERNADETTE Szocs generated plenty of buzz on Sunday. The paddler from Romania put up a five-star performance to help U Mumba TT clinch their first-ever title at the Ultimate Table Tennis at the EKA Arena here. PB Abhinandh, who was playing the fourth match of the Mumba's final meeting against Jaipur Patriots, was involved during the winning moment. Having conceded the opening two games against Jeet Chandra, Abhinandh won the third game to seal the title.
Abhinandh might have helped U Mumba cross the finish line but it was Bernadette who was the standout for the champions.
Thanks to the Romanian pro's exploits, U Mumba had taken a massive 7-2 lead before Abhinandh went on to apply the finishing touches.
