Singapore: Manila Mavericks ended the Singapore leg of the inaugural International Premier Tennis League (IPTL) on a high, beating table-toppers Indian Aces 25 -20 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium here Thursday.

The win enabled the Mavericks to jump up to the second spot, within three points of the Aces, who are on top with 20 points from six matches.

Mavericks’ Mark Phillippoussis comfortably defeated Cedric Pioline 6-4 to give the hosts a two-point lead. But World No. 5 Ana Ivanovic, of Indian Aces, continued her run of good form to down Kirsten Flipkens 6-2 and put the Aces ahead.

In the mixed doubles match, Daniel Nestor and Kirsten Flipkens put Mavericks in front again with a 6-2 demolition of Rohan Bopanna and Sania Mirza.
