Kalaburagi, Nov 19 (PTI) The seventh-seeded Dev Javia found his touch in crucial moments to overcome wildcard entrant Manish Ganesh and move into the second round of the ITF Kalaburagi Open here on Tuesday.

The southpaw, who has shown some consistency this season, won 6-4, 6-3 in an hour and 12 minutes of the USD 25,000 tournament.

But Javia, who has risen over 700 spots on the ATP rankings this season, broke back in the next game.

Javia showed great volleying skills and broke the Mysurean in the 10th game to take the opening set.

Riding the momentum, Javia jumped to a 4-0 lead and lost his focus momentarily to allow Manish to reduce the deficit to 2-4 in the second set.

But the young player, who made two semifinal appearances and five quarters in the last two months, hit back in fine fashion to close out the match without further hiccup.

The second-seeded SD Prajwal Dev and Adil Kalyanpur, coming off a splendid doubles triumph in Mumbai last week, went down in the first round 2-6, 6-3, 3-10 to the American-Indian combine of Nick Chappell and Nitin Kumar Sinha.
