Wild card entrant S. Mukund continued to play a robust game as he outclassed qualifier Felix Gill of Britain 6-1, 6-0 in the pre-quarterfinals of the $133,250 Maha Open Challenger tennis tournament at the Balewadi Stadium on Wednesday.
It was as clinical as it could get, as the 27-year-old Indian fired nine aces and, more importantly, conceded only five points in all in his service games in the whole match. He returned brilliantly and converted five of seven break points that he forced while in racing to victory.
For the second match running, Mukund did not face a single break-point on his serve.
