At $10K India F1 Futures, Kolkata

Singles Final
(6) Rupesh ROY (IND) l (8) Nathan THOMPSON (USA) 64 26 57

Tough loss for Rupesh ... Nathan was on court with proper gameplan against Rupesh, from start he kept Rupesh in long rallies ... Though in start Rupesh was winning many points but he was looking tired in late of first set ... And I feel that was turning point as from their Rupesh was always doing catching game ... Most of the games were going into duece with long rallies and Nathan take control slowly.

Rupesh game looks improved ... Nice backhand slice, powerful forehand, double handed backhand and decent court coverage ... He still need to work on his service, volleys and importantly fitness for long matches.
