Sandeep Kirtane too good for Mankad

Saibal Bose  
CALCUTTA, Nov 11: Sandeep Kirtane caused the first upset of the Futures Tennis Circuit singles event at the South Club today, defeating seventh seed Harsh Mankad 6-0, 6-4. The other seeds sailed through to the third round without any hiccups. None of the singles matches today went beyond two sets.

It was a different story in the doubles with the Indian pair of Syed Fazaluddin and Mustafa Ghouse stretching top seeded Oleg Ogorodov and Vadim Kutsenko of Uzbekistan to three sets. The Indian pair grabbed the first set 6-4 after being 4-1 up. Kutsenko and Ogorodov then raced to a 4-0 lead in the second set before the Indians made it 4-3. However, it was all Fazaluddin and Ghouse got in that set. The third set was a more steady affair with the Uzbekis taking it 6-3.

Mankad could provide little resistance to Sandeep Kirtane in their singles encounter. The first set was a tame affair, with Kirtane overwhelming Mankad 6-0. The seventh seed did fight back in the second set, but it was too late. Sandeep Kirtane won6-4 to set up a third round clash against top seed Oleg Ogorodov.

Results (singles second round): Oleg Ogoroodov bt Avinash Arun 6-1, 6-1; Vadim Kutsenko bt Nitin Kirtane 6-2, 6-4; Patrick Erhardt bt Ravi Kiran Bhat 6-1, 6-0; Syed Fazaluddin bt David McCabe 6-2, 6-0; Danai Udomchoke bt Vishal Uppal 6-4, 6-1; Sandeep Kirtane bt Harsh Mankad 6-0, 6-4; Makhramov Abdulhamid bt Vishal Gupta 6-3,6-0.

Doubles (quarter-finals): Vadim Kutsenko/Oleg Ogorodov bt Mustafa Ghouse/Syed Fazaluddin 4-6, 6-3, 6-3; Nitin Kirtane/Sandeep Kirtane bt Ravi Kiran Bhat/Vijendra Laad 6-1, 6-3; Vishal Uppal/Vishal Gupta bt Saurav Panja/Anand Radhakrishnan 6-4, 4-6, 7-5.
