Tata Open Maharashtra: Indian pair of Jeevan-Balaji loses in final to Belgians Gille, Vliegen

The Hindu  

The dream run of the all-Indian pair of N. Sriram Balaji and Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan did not have a fairytale ending at the Tata Open Maharashtra as it went down 4-6, 4-6 to fourth-seeded Belgians, Sander Gille and Joran Vliegen, in the men’s doubles final at the Balewadi Stadium on Saturday. In the first set, Gille countered Jeevan’s serve, wide into the ad court, with a down-the-line backhand return winner to earn the first break point at 40-all. The Belgian pair, who knocked out top seeds Rajeev Ram and Joe Salisbury in the semifinals on Friday, attacked Balaji’s serve in the second set and went 40-15 up in the third game after Vliegen hit two forehand winners, one bisecting the Indians while the other being an inside-out one to find the vacant left corner. The 32-year-old Balaji saved two break points with his reliable serve but in the deciding point, the Belgians closed the net quickly and drew an error from his older partner.
