Hyderabad, December 9
Indian Aces were back to winning ways as they saw off the challenge of Singapore Slammers 24-19 in the Hyderabad leg of the Indian Premier Tennis League.
Rohan Bopanna and Sania Mirza prevailed over Marcos Baghdatis and Kiki Bertens 6-5 in a tense mixed doubles event to seal the issue in favour of Indian Aces. The home team was off to a positive start as the duo of Ivan Dodig and Feliciano López beat Marcos Baghdatis and Marcelo Melo 6-2 in the men's doubles contest.
Feliciano López then made it 2-0 as he hammered Nick Kyrgios 6-0 in the men's singles event, in a display of attacking tennis at the Gachibowli Indoor Stadium, much to the delight of the home team fans.
Singapore Slammers pulled one back through Kiki Bertens' 6-2 win over Kirsten Flipkens in the women's singles. Veteran Carlos Moya, bringing his forehand into play, defeated Thomas Enqvist 6-4 in the men's legends singles event. Later, the duo of Sania and Bopanna sealed the tie. — PTI
