Rohan Bopanna and Prakash Amritraj crashed out in their respective men's singles semi-final matches at ATP Challenger Series tournaments being simultaneously played in England [Images] and the United States.

Seventh seed Bopanna's fine run was cut short by unseeded Harel Levy of Isreal, who pulled off 7-5, 6-4 victory to enter the final of the US $25,000 ATP Challenger in Manchester, England, on Sunday.

Bopanna had on Saturday shocked second seed Aisam-ul Haq Qureshi to reach the semi-finals of the tournament being played on grass courts.

The 27-year-old, partnering Qureshi, will now fight for the doubles title for which they will take on the Dutch-Swedish duo of Jesse Huta Galung and Michael Ryderstedt.

Wildcard Amritraj lost to Donald Young of America 5-7, 1-6 on the hard courts at the US $75,000 Comerica Challenger in Aptos, California, late on Saturday.

Amritraj had shocked fifth seed Brunc Echagaray of Mexico in the previous round.
