Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association: American tennis player Brandon Holt clinched his second ATP Challenger singles title of the season with a fluent 6-3 6-3 win over Japan’s Shintaro Mochizuki in the summit clash of the 2025 Bengaluru Open, the tournament’s ninth edition, on Sunday. Consequently, the 26-year-old became the first American winner in Bengaluru Open history.
Organised by the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA), the Bengaluru Open is an ATP Challenger 125 tournament, holding the distinction of being India’s biggest international tennis event.
Serving first in the midst of a packed house at the KSLTA Tennis Stadium, third seed Holt, son of Tennis Hall of Famer Tracy Austin, saved two break points in the very first game before capitalising on Mochizuki’s unforced errors to go up a break. The American set the early trend with his lethal serves, forcing his opponent on the back foot and racing to a 3-0 lead. He then broke again in the sixth game, overturning a 0-30 deficit to extend his advantage to 5-1.
