Wimbledon 2021: India’s Ramkumar Ramanathan was able to pick up only one victory from his first appearance at Grand Slam tournaments

India’s Ramkumar Ramanathan was just one win away from his first Grand Slam appearance after he reached the final round of Wimbledon qualifying with a landslide victory over Thomas Martin Etcheverry.

Ramkumar, who gradually slipped out of the top-200 for lack of good results, beat his Argentine rival 6-3, 6-4.

The Indian Davis Cupper, now ranked 211, did not face a single break point in the match and broke Etcheverry, ranked 204, twice in the second round match that lasted 59 minutes.

The 26-year old now needs to beat Australia’s 32nd seed Marc Polmans, ranked 152.

The closest he has come to qualifying for a major before this effort was in 2018 when he reached the third round of the Australian Open qualifiers.

Prajnesh Gunneswaran and Ankita Raina have exited from Qualifiers.
