Prajnesh Gunneswaran lost to Brandon Nakashima 6-3, 6-4 in the final of the Orlando Open Challenger tennis tournament here on Sunday.
However, it was a productive end to the season for the 31-year-old, having made the final of the Cary Challenger the week before.
Prajnesh, as a result, is set to leapfrog Sumit Nagal (ranked 136) to finish as India’s No.1 singles player this year.
