Indian tennis player Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan finally won his second Challenger-level doubles title of the 2018 season after an easy victory with partner Austin Krajicek in the final of the Ilkley event in the UK.
The unseeded Indo-American pair beat the giant-killing German team of Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies 6-3 6-3 in just 57 minutes to clinch the trophy at the Euro 127,000 grass court tournament.
They earned 110 ranking points, each splitting the prize money of Euro 7,870.
The left-handed Jeevan has been consistently producing good performances this season, making as many as six finals, including the one this week in Ilkley.
Talking about his new partnership with Krajicek, Jeevan told PTI, "We have played against each other at the University level (in USA), we know each other well, and our game complement each other. The partnership is going good and we will play the Wimbledon Qualifiers together."
