\"HarmeetNew Delhi<\/strong>: The Indian pair of G. Sathiyan and Harmeet Desai defeated the French duo of Emmanual Lebesson and Alexandre Cassin 3-1 (11-9, 4-11, 11-9, 11-6) to lift the men\u2019s doubles trophy and the winner\u2019s purse of $6,000 in the WTT Contender Tunis on the final day today.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Indians also bagged 400 ranking points which should help the pair in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Indian pair began well but soon lost the second badly to the left-right combine of Lebesson and Cassin. Lebesson, a Bundesliga League veteran at 33, and the 23-year-old Cassin, who has service variations and excellent forehand finish, played superbly to restore parity. But the Indians, maintaining a handy lead, managed to pull it off in the third despite the French duo closing in on them. With a 2-1 cushion, the Indians finished off in style in the fourth, without delaying the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier, in the semi-finals, the Indians defeated the Hungarian pair of Nandor Ecseki and Adam Szudi 3-2 (8-11, 12-14, 11-8, 11-8, 11-9) in a thriller.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Indians will next head to Slovenia where they play back-to-back tournaments, the last of preparatory events before the World Championships in Houston.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
