Doubles Final
(4) Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan (IND)/ Christopher Rungkat (INA) l Ben McLachlan (JPN)/ Yasutaka Uchiyama (JPN) 64 36 8-10

Jeevan and Chris lost in the match tie-break against the local unseeded pair in the final ... Jeevan-Chris won the first set but afterward, they failed to keep momentum.

At $25K ITF Women's Tennis Tournament 2017, Pune, India

Singles Final
(3) Karman Kaur Thandi (IND,310) l (2) Jaqueline Adina Cristian (ROU,254) 36 61 06

Jaqueline overpowered Karman in the third, but still a credible fighting performance by Karman against top-250 Romanian player ... After losing the first set Karman tried strong comeback with easily winning the second set ... I feel, her overall performance in this Pune ITF was encouraging.

The Pune challenger draw is out ... As expected, RamK and Yuki r seeded and can meet only in the final ... Sumit having similar ranked Austrian in the first round and if he wins then can face 2nd seed ... Overall, decent draw for our players ... Due to Ymer's late withdrawal, Vishnu is facing Nedo in the first round.
