Amritraj, Myneni to clash for title in ITF Futures

Prakash Amritraj and Saketh Myneni set up the men’s singles title clash of the USD 15,000 ITF Futures tournament after scoring victories in their respective semifinals. Fourth seeded Saketh Myneni shocked Indonesian top seed Christopher Rungkat 6-2, 6-1 in just 51 minutes while comeback- man Amritraj sent packing the Austrian eighth seed Nicolas Reissig 6-3, 6-4 in one hour and 24 minutes. Myneni put himself in line for a double crown as he won his second consecutive doubles title with Purav Raja. The tops seeded Indian pair came back from being 1-4 down to scrape past second seeds N Sriram Balaji and Arun Kumar Rajagopalan 7-5, 6-7(3), 10-5 in the summit clash. The singles semifinals turned out to be damp squib as Myneni overpowered the tired looking top seed Rungkat.
