At $777K Atlanta Open 2019, USA

[R1] Prajnesh Gunneswaran (IND,88) l (Q) Soonwoo Kwon (KOR,117) 76(4) 57 06

Doubles
[R1] Marius Copil (ROU)/ Leander Paes (IND) l Taylor Fritz (USA)/ Cameron Norrie (GBR) 67(2) 46

Disappointed by losses of Prajnesh and Leander at Atlanta ... Prajnesh missed a chance of winning start on the US hardcourt season ... He won the first set in the tie-break, but at 5-all in the second set, Prajnesh committed 3 double faults to lose the game ... He lost the next 8 games to lose the match, I am hoping no shoulder injury for Prajnesh.
Lee and Copil lost in straight sets against the big-servers, Norrie and Fritz.

[R1] (Q) Sumit Nagal (IND,207) l Richard Gasquet (FRA,65) 26 67(2)

In the first set, Sumit struggled with unforced errors and Gasquet won the set comfortably ... In the second set, Sumit found his footing and played a better game ... He was up 5-3 but failed to close the set ... Gasquet used his experience and won the match after winning the tie-break ... Overall, a good outing for Sumit in his first ATP 500 tournament.
