However, Divij Sharan and Scott Clayton finished runners-up at the Brest Challenger event in France, preventing what could have been an incredible as well as unique culmination to the week for Indian players on the circuit.

In Vienna, unseeded Bopanna and Cuevas saved two match-points before prevailing 7-6(7), 6-7(4), 11-9 over Sam Querrey and Marcelo Demoliner. Bopanna-Cuevas were down 7-9 in the deciding super tie-break but saved both match-points to emerge triumphant.

It was Bopanna’s third title of the season, having won the Chennai Open (with Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan) and Monte Carlo Masters (with Cuevas). This is Myneni’s first title of the season and a maiden Challenger level trophy for Prashanth.
