Ramkumar Ramanathan, Arina Rodionova, and Vishnu Vardhan combined strong once again to power Bengaluru SG Mavericks to a 46-34 victory over Mumbai Leon Army in the Tennis Premier League on the charcoal grey courts of the Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex on Saturday.
Ramkumar was particularly impressive as he beat Ernests Gulbis 15-5. Mumbai did pull one back thanks to Karan Singh and Vijay Sundar Prashanth beating Ramkumar and Vishnu 11-9. However, there was no stopping Bengaluru from topping the table and qualifying for the semifinals, with 219 points.
Punjab Patriots was well served by Conny Perrin as it made the semifinals with a 43-37 victory over Pune Jaguars, the favourite whipping boy for all the teams. Digvijay Pratap Singh and Arjun Kadhe tilted the balance in favour of Punjab with a 12-8 victory over Lukas Rosol and Rithvik Bollipalli.
