CHENNAI: At an age when many players think of retiring from professional tennis, Vijay Sundar Prashanth has secured his biggest title at the ATP level. The 37-year-old Vijay Sundar and Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan, both from Tamil Nadu, won their maiden ATP Tour crown as a pair by overcoming Germany's Constantin Frantzen and Hendrik Jebens 4-6, 7-6(5), 10-7 in the Hangzhou Open summit clash on Tuesday.
"I cannot explain in words how I am feeling. We did not expect to win the tournament as we headed into it after taking breaks. Jeevan got married a few days ago and I took a week's rest. We believed in ourselves and that showed on the court," Vijay Sundar told TOI from Hangzhou.
