At $50K Sacramento Challenger, CA, USA

[R1] Prakash Amritraj (IND,229) l (4) Jesse Levine (USA,109) 61 36 57

After winning first set easily Kash somehow lost focus ... In next 2 sets he had many break point chances but couldn't convert it ... I think he also had 3 match points at 5-4 which he failed to convert.
