SFR Snehit from Global Table Tennis Academy (GTTA) created a flutter when he held on to his nerves in a sensational decider to show the doors on top ranked P Vighney Reddy in the men singles semifinals of the 2nd Telangana State ranking table tennis tournament at Mahaveer Institute of Science and Technology in Bandalguda late Friday night.
