Tata Open Maharashtra...ATP 250...Pune India

[don_budge]

ATP Tour off with a bang in 2019. Check out the action down in Pune, India. One interesting match so far...Ernests Gulbis takes down the number two seed Hyeon Chung. Chung just has not lived up to some of the hype he generated last year down under before he failed to finish his match against Roger Federer in the Australian Open semifinals. I knew then that did not bode well for him.

Kevin Anderson versus Ivo Karlovic. Maybe the tallest ATP final in history...combined inches?

Kevin Anderson versus Ivo Karlovic. Maybe the tallest ATP final in history...combined inches?

Kevin Anderson wins in three tie-breakers. It was in fact the tallest ATP final ever. Previous tallest final was between Anderson and John Isner.
