The second set was no different for the Indian ace. In the 35-minute long set, the Indian could not make a comeback. In the second set, Prajnesh looked very determined to break even and even levelled the scored but had no answer to the beautiful strokes by the Uzbeki tennis player. Prajnesh Gunneswaran lost the game by 6-2. At one of the junctures of the game, the Indian was even warned for his behaviour on the court as he hit the ball angrily in the air after trailing behind by 4-2. Plenty of unforced errors were made during the players.

The Indian tennis contingent has bagged a couple of bronze medals and a gold. Prior to this, Ankita Raina bagged bronze in women's singles and Rohan Bopanna-Divij Sharan won a gold medal in men's doubles. Check out India’s medal tally here.
