In Division 2, Team Spin Sprinters (Rayan Chatterjee, Pradeep Srinivasan) took the title over Team Goats (Vihan Bagal, Kyle Liang). The Goats had defeated Spin Sprinters in group play 3-2 but Spin Sprinters reversed the result in the final winning 3-1 with Pradeep and Rayan both winning one singles and doubles.

His partner, 9-year old Ria Chatterjee and younger brother of Division 2 Champion Rayan Chatterjee, contributed to the team success, to make both siblings Division champions!
