JAKARTA (JP): Indonesia's best duo of Bonit Wiryawan and Sulistyo Wibowo won the second leg of the Indonesia Futures after defeating Japan's pair of Hideki Kaneko/Mitsuru Takada 7-5, 6-4 on Saturday at the Danamon Tennis Center in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta.

Bonit and Sulistyo bagged US$965 in prize money while the Japanese took home $425.

In the singles event, Australia's James Sekulov won the title and collected $1,950. First seeded Sekulov did not have to face Austrian Gerald Mandl, fifth seeded in the tournament, as the latter suffered a right shoulder injury. Mandl pocketed $1,350.

Antara reported that Sekulov eliminated Indonesia's Dede Suhendar Dinata 6-4, 6-4 in Saturday's semifinals while Mandl beat German Jan Ralph Brandt 6-3, 6-2. (yan)
