Bengaluru Open: Stefano Napolitano Beats Seongchan Hong To Clinch Men’s Singles Title
ATP Challenger Series: Italy’s Stefano Napolitano came back from a set down to beat South Korea’s Seongchan Hong in the final to clinch the men's singles title in Bengaluru Open 2024 ATP Challenger Series event at the KSLTA Tennis Stadium here on Sunday.
The seventh seed Napolitano, whose last ATP Challenger title came way back in 2016, relied on his booming groundstrokes to win 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 in two hours and 23 minutes to take home a prize purse of $18230 (approximately Rs 15 lakh). The title triumph also helped him bag 100 ranking points.
Napolitano, who had got the better of former world no. 25 Vasek Pospisil of Canada in the second round and home favourite Sumit Nagal in the semi-finals, struggled with his first serve in the opening set and that meant he wasn’t really able to capitalise on the opportunities and lost his serve twice.
