ATP Challenger: Prajnesh finishes runner-up in Pune

Pune: India's Prajnesh Gunneswaran will have to wait for his maiden Challenger level singles title as he lost to French player Sadio Doumbia to end runner-up in the ATP Challenger, here on Saturday.


Playing his first ever final at this level, the Indian left-hander lost 6-4, 4-6, 3-6 after two hours and eight minutes on the Centre court of the Balewadi Sports Complex.


It is first full season for Prajnesh after five years as he overcame stress fracture issues in his knees to make a comeback and considers 2016 as his breakthrough season.


Playing in the quarter-finals of the Delhi Open Challenger early this year was the best show of the season for him apart from winning a Futures singles title in Chennai. The 26-year-old earned 48 ranking points and USD 4240 for his effort.
