New Delhi, Nov 3 Prakash Amritraj stunned fifth
seed and local favourite Kyu Tae IM to advance to the singles
second round of the ATP Challenger event in Chuncheon, Korea
but his campaign in the doubles was cut short in the opening
round itself.
Unseeded in the singles, Prakash shocked his fifth seed
opponent 7-6(2) 6-2 in the opening round of the USD 1,00,000
hard court event.
He will next play Latvian Andis Juska, who sent packing
Korean wild card Sang-Woo Noh 6-2 6-3 in the first round.
However, a disappointing result was in store for Prakash
in the doubles as he and his American partner Alex Kuznetosv
suffered a 3-6 4-6 defeat at the hands of second seeded South
African-Dane pair of Rik de Voest and Frederik Nielsen in the
first round. - (Agencies)
