Wins Oman title

Kabeer Khan, March 16, 2020: The Times of India

I am tired but I cannot stop smiling,” an exhausted Sharath Kamal exclaimed through the phone from Oman after beating top seed Marcos Freitas to win his first tour title after 10 years at the Oman Open in Muscat on Sunday.

The 37-year-old paddler beat world No. 26 Portuguese 6-11, 11-8, 12-10, 11-9, 3-11, 17-15 in the summit clash, which seemed well under fourth seed Sharath’s control.

Sharath lost the first game, owing the Freitas’ brilliance where he executed the backhand push perfectly. The world No. 38 was furious after the game. “I was not connecting my shots perfectly. But I knew where I had to make the amends. I just had to get into the rhythm,” Sharath told TOI.
