Prajnesh Gunneswaran thread

Prajnesh win a close one in second round.

At $15K Poland F3, Bydgoszcz ( red clay)

[R2] (8) Prajnesh GUNNESWARAN (IND,529) d. Andriej KAPAS (POL,733) 61 36 76(5)

Prajnesh saved 3 matchpoints on Kapas serve at 4-5,0-40 in the third set . So, nice to him to come back from death to win this one.

[QF] (8) Prajnesh GUNNESWARAN (IND,529) vs. (3) Rui MACHADO (POR,358)

Machado is a former top 60 player who seems to be trying to come back from some injury.

Good to see Prajnesh live up to his seeding. Now, go one better!! If he wins the next round, there is no reason why he can't go all the way here...

At $15K Poland F3, Bydgoszcz ( red clay)

[QF] (8) Prajnesh GUNNESWARAN (IND,529) l. (3) Rui MACHADO (POR,358) 63 16 retd.

Prajnesh did well to take the first set against former top 60 player but then yet another retirement from him after losing the second set. Looks like nothing left in him after the marathon match yesterday. It looks like these fitness worries are the only thing holding Prajnesh back now as otherwise he seems to be playing at least at 300-350 level even on European clay.

In his 2nd wk in Poland claycourts,
Poland F4 Futures:
(R1)Prajnesh Gunneswaran(IND,530) vs Marek Michalicka(CZE,581)
Likely a tought match against an opponent whose best ranking was 244 last year.

Didn't realize Prajnesh has a separate thread. I posted my comments in another thread. I think Prajnesh is a slight favorite to win this match.

Go Prajnesh win some tough matches to go up in the ranking and start to play some challenger series...

Sadly Prajensh surrendered at the hands of the German 6-7 0-6.

That bagel I hope no injury issues?

[Omkara]

Could be... Looking at the second set. But this boy has fitness issues. So his growth could get restricted

[Sandeep]

Disappointing, expected him to go through.

He could have taken a break.
