At $50K+H Agri Challenger, Turkey



Singles Final
Saketh Myneni (IND,199) l Farrukh Dustov (UZB,153) 46 46

Saki lose in the final against experienced Uzbek Farrukh Dustov in straight sets ... Saki must be tired and exhausted as this was his fourth match inside 24 hours ... Farrukh broke Saki in 3rd game to lead 1-2 but in next game Saki missed 5 break point opportunities ... Saki again missed 2 more break points in 8th game and then Farrukh kept that advantage for winning the first set ... Farrukh broke Saki in 1st game of the second set but this time Saki immediately broke back for 1-all ... Farrukh took important break in 9th game before holding for winning the title ... Still overall very encouraging performance by Saki as this was his first final outside of India ... Hoping for good Indian challengers leg for Saki.
