PUNE: Manas Dhamne, all of 15, made an impression with his fearless approach before being overpowered by Michael Mmoh, while a tenacious Sumit Nagal, true to his style, fought hard before bowing out of the men's singles event at the Tata Open Maharashtra here on Monday.
Given a wild card entry into the country's premier tennis tournament, Dhamne got a taste of high-level tennis on the opening day of the ATP 250 event, before exiting the tournament with a 2-6, 4-6 defeat against the world number 115.
