BHUBANESWAR 26-Feb-2018
Local players Chinmat Pradhan, Ansu Kumar Bhuyan, Kabir Hans and Pratyush Mohanty failed to capitalize on their wild cards in doubles as all of them crashed out in the first round of the OTA-ITF Futures-1, the Men’s Pro Circuit Tennis Tournament here at Kalinga Stadium Tennis Complex today.
Among the Odisha players, Bhuyan was most impressive and had the opportunity to reach quarterfinals with Chandigarh-based Davis Cupper Vijayant Malik after winning the first set 6-4 against US-German pair of Tyler Hochwalt and Sami Reinwein. But the foreign duo fought back to snatch victory in super tie-breaker.
