Last week, he had reached the final at the Cary Challenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result though helped Prajnesh move to 128 from 137. He has already locked the India No. 1 rank with his Orlando show.Serving at 2-3, 30-all, Prajnesh buried a forehand into the net to be down a break point but saved it with an ace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another forehand error by Prajnesh gave Nakaksima another chance but the Indian saved that too with a well set-up winner.However, Nakashima&#8217;s strong ground-strokes brought him another chance and this time Prajnesh could not save, sending a backhand over the baseline.An easy hold put the American ahead 5-2. He returned to serve out the set without any fuss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian tennis player Prajnesh Gunneswaran ended runner-up at the Orlando Open here, losing the summit clash of the ATP Challenger event to American [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":84434,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[122],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-84433","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84433"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84433\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":84435,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84433\/revisions\/84435"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84434"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84433"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blastingskyhawk.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
