A screaming forehand was followed by a roar of celebration as Prajnesh Gunneswaran recorded his first-ever win in a main draw at tour event at home. The Indian, who has had a few tough months, defeated Germany’s Yannick Maden 7-6 (3), 7-6 (4) in the opening round of the Tata Open Maharashtra at the Balewadi Stadium in Pune on Tuesday.
It was a first winning result for the Indian players in the last two days. While Sumit Nagal and Ramkumar Ramanathan had lost on Monday, local lad and wildcard entrant Ajrun Kadhe was outclassed 6-2, 6-4 on Tuesday. Sasikumar Mukund will play his first round against Japan’s Taro Daniel on Wednesday.
