American Kwon wins Bakrie singles title

JAKARTA: Chris Kwon of the U.S. beat Jan Masik of the Czech
Republic 6-4, 6-4 in the final of the Bakrie Indonesia ITF Men's
Satellite Circuit on Saturday in Kuningan, South Jakarta.

Kwon, who won US$800, was able to overcome the strong baseline
play of Masik, serving five aces in the match.

"Kwon deserves the win because he played better," Masik, who
received $560, said.

The local pairing of Suwandi and veteran Bonit Wiryawan
triumphed in the men's doubles over compatriots Sunu Wahyu
Trijati and Andry Setyawanto.

Suwandi and Bonit, 37, lost a second set tiebreaker before
racing through the decider 6-1, 6-7 (6), 6-1 for the $400
winner's check.

"We actually could have won the second set, but we lost our
focus and they won it. But we got it back and took the tourney,"
said Suwandi. -- JP
