Sriram Balaji in straight sets 6-2, 6-1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\">Having honed his skills in the very competitive Intercollegiate Tennis Association circuit in America, where he played while studying for four years, Jeevan&#8217;s game reflected the maturity and confidence of a winner.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\">Having never dropped a set in the tournament, Jeevan had a shaky start as the big-hitting Balaji broke the former&#8217;s very first service game \u2014 the second of the opening set \u2014 producing a series of winners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\">The 23-year-old southpaw, who won the Pune Futures barely two weeks ago, regained his rhythm quickly and broke Balaji back in the third game working on the accuracy of his returns. Jeevan used the width of the court well and came up with a mix of cross-court and down-the-line returns that induced his opponent to make repeated errors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\">Balaji, who had three break points while leading 2-1 in the fourth game, squandered the advantage as Jeevan salvaged the game and went on to win the set. Jeevan held serve and broke Balaji again in the fifth and the seventh games to win the set 6-2.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\">The second set saw Balaji muddling up even more as Jeevan tightened his grip. While preserving his service games Jeevan earned breaks in the first, third and the seventh games of the former.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\">Jeevan won the second set 6-1 and wrapped up the match in just 71 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\">Saying that the title convinced him about his ability to look for bigger results in the professional circuit, Jeevan added that he would be training harder for the new season in the Sch\u00fcttler-Waske Tennis University in Germany where he spent some time before coming here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\">He also said that he would be playing the upcoming Chennai Open and has got the opportunity to train with Mahesh Bhupathi in Mumbai before of the tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\"><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\" style=\"outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px;\">The result: Men: Final: Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan bt N.
