Yuki broke him in the 9th game when RamK lost his focus disputing a line call ... Yuki held his serve for winning a biggest challenger title.
Prajnesh-Saki lost the final against Aussies in the match tie-break ... After losing the first set they were double break up at 4-1 but lost next four games, 4-5 ... They took a crucial break in the 11th game and then Prajnesh held after saving 2 break points for winning the set ... In the match tie-break, our pair was mini-break up at 3-1 but after that, sudden slumped in their game and they lost next 7 points, 3-8 ... I think, that was nailed their loss.
