Chandigarh: Punjab Marshalls swept the first home tie 23-15 against Raipur Rangers in possibly the most exciting tie of the Champions Tennis League so far in Chandigarh on Saturday.

The Marshalls clinched the tie 23-15 after it went into 'Overtime', in which Marcos Baghdatis won the last game to seal the deal at the CLTA Stadium. This victory has broken the home team jinx that has plagued the Champions Tennis League teams till now. Mumbai Tennis Masters lost their home matches in Mumbai, while V Chennai Warriors came agonisingly close to a victory before faltering in Chennai last night.
