Chennai: Feliciano Lopez of Nagpur Orangers held his nerve to beat Fernando Verdasco of V Chennai Warriors, securing a slender 24-23 win for the visitors in the Champions Tennis League (CTL) here yesterday.

The final match of the Chennai leg was the battle between Spaniards, Lopez and Verdasco, in the men's singles and it went right down to the wire. Verdasco broke his compatriot to make it 3-2 and that cushion was enough for him to win the set 5-3 for Chennai, taking the match into super tie-breaker after Nagpur had won
four sets in a row.
