Thanks for the update Vishal. Mukund is now only 2 spots from the qualifying draw. I think he’ll get in before tomorrow evening’s deadline.

He got a tough Q1 against top seed 74th ranked Australian Popyrin. Looks like Popyrin did not enter the main draw originally, else he would have made it in there.

After being blown away he gave a decent fight in second set and had a set point in tie break before losing out.

At Winston-Salem Open ATP 250, USA

[Q1] Sasi Kumar Mukund (IND,321) l. (1) Alexei Popyrin (AUS,74) 16 67(6)

But, he seems to be gaining his form back which took to top 230 a couple of years back.

Another tough draw for Mukund and he lost in first round.

At Tennis Ohio Championships, Columbus, Ohio, USA (Hard)

[R1] Sasi Kumar Mukund (IND,392) l. (7) J. J. Wolf (USA,196) 36 26

Now Mukund will find it tough to make it to challenger main draws with his ranking coming down now untill the challengers return to Asia which looks so uncertain when it will happen.

Mukund starts with a good win in first round of qualifying at Las Vegas Challenger.

At Las Vegas Challenger 80, USA

[Q1] Sasi Kumar Mukund (IND,392) d. Evan King (USA,509) 75 63

Next,

[Q2] Sasi Kumar Mukund (IND,392) vs. (WC) Alfredo Perez (USA,732)

Perez beat 265th ranked Tung-Lin Wu in Q1. So, he won't be a pushover.
