The top-seeded Indian duo, Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan and Vijay Sundar Prasanth have clinched the men’s doubles title of the Pune ATP Challenger 100. They defeated the second-seeded Australian pair, Blake Bayldon and Matthew Romios, 3-6, 6-3, 10-0 to be crowned champions in front of the home crowd. This was Jeevan’s third career title, while it was the second for the duo as a pair, following their Hangzhou Open triumph late last year.
The Indian pair had a slow start to the final, conceding the opening set 3-6 after suffering a late break in the eighth game; however, they mounted a strong comeback in the second set to force a super tiebreak. In the decisive super tiebreak, the Indian duo completely dominated the court, sealing the set 10-0 without dropping a single point.
