Punit Balan Group were bang on with the formidable combinations of players. Despite losing their opening mixed doubles tie, where the Medvedev-Mirra Andreeva pair went down to Paula Badosa-Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-7 (5-7) in a tie-breaker, PBG Eagles returned with a bang to register victories in women\u2019s doubles, men\u2019s doubles and women\u2019s singles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Andreeva and Sofia Kenin defeated Badosa and Aryna Sabalenka overcame a stiff challenge to score a 7-5 win in the women\u2019s doubles category.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt was the first World Tennis League for me and begins straight with the victory. So, I am happy about it, happy for the team and happy that I managed to bring some points. I was happy with my doubles (men\u2019s), especially because in the first match we played with Sophia we lost. And then I managed to step up my game. The only doubles after that we lost was mixed doubles. But it's okay, in tennis, that can happen,\u201d said Medvedev.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Medvedev and Rublev had a rather easy outing against Grigor Dimitrov and Lloyd Harris, scoring a 6\u20133 victory as a men\u2019s doubles pair and the World No. 5, Rublev was happy with his contributions and that he could lead the team for a podium finish.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cHaving the tennis greats of our time as part of PBG Eagles itself was an amazing experience and to top it with a win, we couldn\u2019t have asked for more. The way we approached the matches and ensured a clinical finish was critical and I am very happy that we finished as Champions and give our fans a strong reason to celebrate as we finish 2023,\" commented Punit Balan, Chairman & Managing Director of the Punit Balan Group.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
PBG Eagles soared further high with World No. 33 Kenin\u2019 upsetting World No. 2 Sabalenka in the women\u2019s singles category.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The opposition needed to register a spectacular win in the men\u2019s singles match. Although Grigor Dimitrov managed to score a 6-3 victory over Rublev, PBG Eagles had enough point cushion to claim the title 29-26.<\/p>\r\n\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2023\/12\/medvedev-rublev-sofia-power-pbg-eagles-to-win-world-tennis-league-2023.jpeg", "alt_img": "Medvedev, Rublev, Sofia power PBG Eagles to win World Tennis League 2023", "alt_title": "Medvedev, Rublev, Sofia power PBG Eagles to win World Tennis League 2023", "image1": null, "video": null, "seo_title": "Medvedev, Rublev, Sofia Power PBG Eagles To Win World Tennis League 2023 On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "Medvedev, Rublev, Sofia Power PBG Eagles To Win World Tennis League 2023, Punit Balan Group Eagles: US Open Champion, Daniil Medvedev and 2023 Australian Open quarterfinalist Andrey Rublev led Punit Balan Group.", "seo_keywords": "PBG Eagles, World Tennis League, US Open Champion, Daniil Medvedev, Australian Open, Andrey Rublev, Punit Balan Group Eagles, Etihad Arena, Team Kites, Punit Balan Group, Mirra Andreeva, Paula Badosa, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Sofia Kenin, Aryna Sabalenka", "tag": "", "tagging": "PBG Eagles, World Tennis League, US Open Champion, Daniil Medvedev, Australian Open, Andrey Rublev, Punit Balan Group Eagles, Etihad Arena, Team Kites, Punit Balan Group, Mirra Andreeva, Paula Badosa, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Sofia Kenin, Aryna Sabalenka", "status": "1", "img_rpt": "0", "google": "1", "standout": "0", "edapps": "0", "pulse": "0", "no_index": "0", "feed": "0", "fixture": null, "slug": "medvedev-rublev-sofia-power-pbg-eagles-to-win-world-tennis-league-2023", "user_id": "0", "read_count": "0", "ians_date": null, "ians_time": null, "server_time": null, "trash": "0", "view_count": "462", "page_break": "0", "instant_articles": "1", "auto_link": "0", "created": "2023-12-26 12:26:02", "updated": "2023-12-26 12:26:02", "img_from": "Image Source: IANS", "img_source": null, "schedule_publish": null, "news_keywords": "PBG Eagles, World Tennis League, US Open Champion, Daniil Medvedev, Australian Open, Andrey Rublev, Punit Balan Group Eagles, Etihad Arena, Team Kites, Punit Balan Group, Mirra Andreeva, Paula Badosa, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Sofia Kenin, Aryna Sabalenka", "livescore_text": null, "livescore_link": null, "btn_text": null, "resend_feed": "1", "google_feed": "1", "read_more": "0", "posted_by": "23", "jio_date": "2023-12-26 12:26:02", "scheduled": "0", "news_now": "0", "breaking_news": "0", "google_date": null, "featured": "0", "sports_name": "tennis", "cnmid": "842639", "link": "https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/sports-news\/medvedev-rublev-sofia-power-pbg-eagles-to-win-world-tennis-league-2023-11620" }
