Top seed Jay Clarke of Britain beat second seed Alexandr Binda of Italy 6-3, 7-6(4) in the final of the $15,000 ITF men’s tennis tournament at the Gujarat University Tennis Academy on Sunday.
It was the second successive title for the 26-year-old Jay, following his title last week in Chandigarh.

The results: Singles (final): Jay Clarke (GBR) bt Alexandr Binda (Ita) 6-3, 7-6(4).
