Rio de Janiero: Anthony Amalraj lost in the title clash of the Challenge Seamaster Brazil Open table tennis tournament, going down 12-14, 11-9, 7-11, 7-11, 5-11 to Brazilian Caldrano Hugo.Earlier, Amalraj lost to compatriot Soumyajit Ghosh in the Chile Open men's final but then managed to win the doubles title in the company of Ghosh.
Eighth-seeded Amalraj, who was in the best form of his life in recent times, had very little chance against Hugo who was the toast of the nation and also the tournament's top seed.The Brazilian won the extended first game 14-12, while losing the next to Amalraj. But then a more determined Hugo, egged on by the local crowd, simply proved his superiority and rolled past his Indian rival to claim the title.
Amalraj did pose Hugo some problems with his deft changes of spin and speed. However, once the 20-year-old Brazilian secured the third game, his confidence grew. Strong with his backhand and noticeably over the table, after winning five straight points in the fifth game Hugo moved from 4-all to 9-4. Amalraj did win a point but he could not do much against the rampaging Hugo.
