Bengaluru Open: Mochizuki Ends Barton’s Dream Run, McCabe Stuns Mejia To Reach Semis
Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association: Seventh seed Shintaro Mochizuki ended Hynek Barton’s dream run at the 2025 Bengaluru Open by knocking out the Czech qualifier from the singles event at the KSLTA Tennis Stadium here on Friday. The 2019 junior Wimbledon Champion beat Barton 7-6(5), 6-3 to advance to the semifinals, where he will play Australian James McCabe.
Playing at the Centre Court, Mochizuki flew off the blocks to sweep the opening game of the first set without losing a point. The rising Japanese star then procured two breakpoints in the second game, but Barton fought back for a hold.
Thereon, the intensity grew as the match progressed, and eventually, Mochizuki grabbed the opening set via a tie-breaker in the ATP Challenger 125 tournament with a prize pool of USD 200,000 organised by the Karnataka State Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA). 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.
