Ramkumar Ramanathan and Saketh Myneni settled for the men`s doubles silver medal at the Asian Games after being edged by Hsu Yu-Hsiou and Jason Jung from Chinese Taipei in straight sets in the final, here on Friday. The Taipei team was unseeded but both Hsu (182) and Jung (231) were better-ranked singles players and it showed in their ground strokes and the way they went about their business in a 6-4 6-4 victory against the second-seeded Indians in the title clash. Hsu was solid from the baseline with his strong serve while Jung complimented him with his lightning fast hands at the net. It is Ramkumar`s first Asian Games medal and third for Myneni, who had won a men`s doubles silver with Sanam Singh and a gold with Sania Mirza in the mixed doubles in the 2014 Incheon edition.
