I was hoping title for Sanam after his excellent performance against Jeevan but top-seed Enrique proved better player ... Enrique won the first set comfortably but Sanam recovered and won the second set ... Sanam failed to keep momentum in the third and lost it easily.

Vishnu continued with his terrific doubles form and lifted another futures title with Jeevan beating top-seed Bala-Ranjeet in straight sets.
