Bengaluru, February 16

Australia’s James Duckworth registered a straight-set win over Benjamin Bonzi of France in the finals to lift the $162,500 Bengaluru Open title here today.

Duckworth took just 68 minutes to notch up a 6-4 6-4 win over Benjamin at the KSLTA Courts here.

Duckworth was coming with a reputation of having won four titles out of six final appearances, and was in fine form after having reached the last four of the ATP 250 in Pune last week. His opponent Benjamin, meanwhile, had felled four seeds enroute to the final, including India’s No.1 and defending champion Prajnesh Gunneswaran.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
