Running into the top seed and bowing out in the first qualifying round of the ATP Tour event in Pune was a chastening experience, but the 25-year-old Sasikumar Mukund is confident that he can make his game count this season.
With two Challengers scheduled in Bengaluru after the Tata Open Maharashtra, Sasikumar, who was ranked a career-best 229 in October 2019, felt he would get consistent results to “get a taste of the Grand Slam qualifying events”.
