Match summary
Alastair Gray meets Manish Sureshkumar in the Round of 16 of the Karnataka Open on May 13 on outdoor hard court. Gray, ranked 293, arrives with momentum after winning three straight matches across five tournaments in two weeks. Sureshkumar, ranked 829, plays his first match since competing last week and carries a single win from his recent stretch.
The two have never met. Gray has won four of his last five matches; Sureshkumar has taken three of five over the same span. On hard court, Gray holds a 50% record while Sureshkumar sits at 25%. Both players lost to Alexander Binda in recent weeks.
Gray's game revolves around a strong serve; he will rely on his first-strike ability to dictate points and shorten rallies. Sureshkumar constructs points methodically from the baseline, absorbing pace and looking for opportunities to push opponents deep into sets. Gray has seen steady court time in recent days, while Sureshkumar returns after limited activity. The match will turn on whether Gray can convert his serve dominance into breaks or if Sureshkumar's patience and retrieval skills can nullify Gray's power and force extended exchanges.
