Prajnesh lost in semi final in a close match against local player.

At M25, Nur Sultan, Kazakhstan

[SF] (2) Prajnesh Gunneswaran (IND,303) l. Beibit Zhukayev (KAZ,473) 64 36 46

So, only 8 points this week for Prajnesh. Needs to get a couple of wins next week in challenger to ensure to not to drop down much in rankings due to his defending of 28 points in next 2 weeks.

Prajnesh has entered couple of 25K futures in Georgia in 2 weeks starting this. So, he is trying to get up the ranks thru ITF tournaments rather than playing challenger qualifiers. Hope he wins one of these tournaments.

Another easy win for Prajnesh.

At M25 Tbilisi, Georgia (Hard)

[R2] (1) Prajnesh Gunneswaran (IND,310) d. (Q) Daniel Ibragimov (RUS,1567) 62 62

Next,

[QF] (1) Prajnesh Gunneswaran (IND,310) vs. Evgeny Philippov (RUS,910)

20 year old had a carrer high junior ranking of 31, so, this is tougher than first 2 matches for Prajnesh but he must still win this.

His form is going from bad to worse,can he recover from this slump.
2022 is the worst singles year for us compared to last few years.

He is 33. I think the writing is on the wall.
Was he injured today? He dropped dramatically after the 1st set.

Prajnesh had a couple of decent win in Georgia futures this week so far.

At M25 Tbilisi, Georgia (Hard)

[R1] (2) Prajnesh Gunneswaran (IND,327) d. Seong Chan Hong (KOR,486) 36 63 75

[R2] (2) Prajnesh Gunneswaran (IND,327) d. Yanki Erel (TUR,449) 64 26 76(2)

In both matches, Prajnesh was down a break in third set and he came thru. He had lost to Erel in Kazak challenger 2 weeks back. So, it is good that he cam back to win today.

[QF] (2) Prajnesh Gunneswaran (IND,327) vs. Aleksandre Bakshi (GEO,767)

Prajnesh is still not playing at his usual level it seems.

Disappointing results :cry: It seems he is taking a couple of weeks break before returning to Asia to play the Nonthaburi Challenger from 8/22.
