Coleman Wong proved a hard nut to crack for S. Mukund as the 17-year-old from Hong Kong converted a second match point for a 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 victory in the first round of the Dafa News $82,000 Delhi Open Challenger tennis tournament at the DLTA Complex on Monday.
After having given a walkover in the quarterfinals on Friday in the Pune Challenger owing to food poisoning, Mukund had recovered to compete hard even though the changed conditions hampered his game.
From not having faced a single break point in two matches in the last Challenger, Mukund was finding it hard to play fluently, especially in the super slow conditions of the centre court.
