    Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association: The unseeded Indian pairing of Siddhant Banthia and Parikshit Somani dismantled Nicolas Mejia and Bernard Tomic 7-5, 6-0 to reach the Bengaluru Open doubles semifinals on Thursday. The home duo will now fight it out with Australia's Blake Bayldon and Matthew Christopher Romios for a place in the summit clash.

    Organised by the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA), the Bengaluru Open is an ATP Challenger 125 tournament with a prize pool of USD 2,00,000. It currently holds the distinction of being India’s biggest international tennis event. The champion of this hard-court tournament will earn 125 valuable ATP ranking points. An even first set on Court 1 of the KSLTA Tennis Stadium saw both Banthia/Somani and Mejia/Tomic go toe-to-toe for the upper hand, which the latter nearly seized in game seven. However, after saving a crucial break point, the Indian pair swept through games nine and 11 on their serve before breaking in game 12 for the lead.

    Carrying the momentum with them into the second set, Banthia and Somani then bageled their opponents in the second set that lasted just 20 minutes.
