Amritraj downs Rastogi to lift ITF Futures singles title

Dehra Dun, June 9 (UNI) Fourth seeded Prakash Amritraj clinched his second title in two weeks as he whipped top seed Karan Rastogi 6-1, 6-2 in the ITF Men's Futures Tennis Tournament single's final here today.

Amritraj had won ITF Futures tennis title in Chandigarh last week.

After being out of circuit for almost seven months following a wrist injury, Amritraj showed he has got back the confidence as he took just 75 minutes to demolish Rastogi.

In the second set too, Amritraj looked dominant through out. He broke his opponent twice in third and seventh games and went on to win the set 6-2 and match with ease.

Amritraj collected 12 ATP points and 1,300 dollars for his effort while Rastogi had to settle for eight ATP points and 900 dollars.
