DARIAN KING FELL short of reaching another ATP Challenger quarter-final after shockingly losing his second-round match at the Las Vegas Tennis Open in Nevada yesterday.
Playing against American Tennys Sandgren on centre court, the fifth-seeded Bajan lost 6-4, 6-4 to a man ranked 109 places below him on the Emirates ATP ladder.
The loss comes directly on the heels of a similarly surprising first-round loss at the Fairfield Challenger, where King struggled to cope with a foot fungus.
It was far from King’s best performance, with the world No.135 looking out of sorts to start the match as if still feeling the effects from that prior case of athlete’s foot.
