Top players comfortably advance to the next round in the ATP Challenger 75 being held at DLTA Complex.

India’s Manish Sureshkumar fought back from a 5-3 deficit in the second set to score a 6-3, 7-5 win over Korea’s Uisung Park to advance to the next round of the 2026 Delhi Open ATP Challenger 75 being held at DLTA Complex.

The 26-year-old is the only Indian to make it out of the qualifying draw and was excited. I’m happy that I came back to win the match,” Sureshkumar said. He got into the qualifying draw at the last minute as an alternate but is certainly making the most of the opportunity.
The other Indian in the final round of qualifying – Ramkumar Ramanthan – went down in straight sets to Korea’s Hyeon Chung.

Chung became the first Korean to reach the Grand Slam semis in the 2018 Australian Open. The 29-year-old is currently ranked No. 393 in the world after returning to the tour in late 2024 following persistent back injuries that forced him off the circuit.
Top seed Denis Yevseyev of Kazakhstan, second seed Ioannis Xilas of Greece, fourth seed Maks Kasnikowski of Poland, and seventh seed Alexandr Binda of Italy also came through their final round qualifying matches to book their spots into the main draw.
In other first-round main draw matches, fifth seed Oliver Crawford of Great Britain scored a hard-fought 7-6, 6-5 win over Croatia’s Duje Ajdukovic, while Belgium’s Michael Geerts defeated Lithuania’s Edas Butvilas 6-3, 7-5.

As part of the ATP Challenger 75 series, the tournament will award 75 ranking points to the singles and doubles champions, 50 points to the doubles runners-up and 44 points to the singles runner-up. 

The singles champion will receive $17,000 in prize money, with the runner-up earning $9,600. The doubles champions will split $4,980, while the runners-up will split $2,880.
