Bicknell eliminated in Round of 32 at Kingston Open ATP Challenger

Jamaica's number one tennis player, Blaise Bicknell, says he's determined to bounce back stronger and sharper when he returns to action next Monday in the second staging of the Kingston Open ATP Challenger Tournament at the Liguanea Club in Kingston.

The 24-year-old Bicknell was left disappointed on Monday after suffering a 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 defeat to Australia's Max Purcell in their round of 32 encounter.

Despite the setback, Bicknell says he remains confident and motivated ahead of next week's assignment.

Bicknell says he produced a strong overall performance but admitted that a lapse in concentration during the deciding set proved costly.
