Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association: Qualifier Hynek Barton caused a massive upset in the Bengaluru Open on Tuesday by knocking out compatriot and top seed Vit Kopriva in a Round of 32 clash. Czech Republic's Barton came from a set down to shock Kopriva 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in a tightly contested match, which lasted a little over two hours on Court 2 at the KSLTA Tennis Stadium.

Organised by the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA), the Bengaluru Open is an ATP Challenger 125 tournament with a prize pool of USD 2,00,000. It currently holds the distinction of being India’s biggest international Tennis event. The champion of this hard-court tournament will earn 125 valuable ATP ranking points.

Just days after teaming up for a semi-final run at the Delhi Open, friends and countrymen Barton and Kopriva faced off for a spot in the pre-quarterfinals. Familiar with each other’s game, they matched stride for stride in a gritty first set until Kopriva capitalised on Barton’s unforced errors to break in Game 7 and take the lead. Barton, however, turned the match around, breaking Kopriva late in the second set and early in the third to seal a 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 comeback win.
