Paes’ Japan Warriors beaten by Singapore Slammers in IPTL

Leander Paes’ Japan Warriors frittered away a good start to go down 21-24 against Singapore Slammers in an International Premier Tennis League match here on Saturday.

This was the Warriors’ sixth loss in seven matches, their only win coming against UAE Royals in the ongoing India Leg, which concludes on Saturday.

The Singapore Slammers did not make the best of starts with Carlos Moya going down 2-6 to Swedish veteran Thomas Enqvist. It was a disappointing performance by Moya, who was broken twice by 

Enqvist.

However, Kristina Pliskova and Dustin Brown pulled things back for the Slammers by upstaging Kirsten Flipkens and Indian veteran Paes 6-4.
