Feb 27 (Reuters) - Terence Atmane fought through illness to try to keep his Mexican Open campaign alive but his run to the quarter-finals ended on a sour note on Thursday when he was given a point penalty for a time violation with his opponent serving for the match.
France's Atmane, who had earlier received a warning for taking too much time between points, was docked the point by the chair umpire after calling for a towel just as Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic prepared to serve for victory in Acapulco.
