Doubles -
[R1] Andreja Klepac (SLO)/ Sunitha Rao (IND) l Anastasia Rodionova (RUS)/ Arina Rodionova (RUS) 46 57

I was going through Pattaya results and shocked to see Sunitha's name as lucky loser in singles maindraw ... And moreover she faced another Japanese lucky loser in first round and made winning start.

But lost in doubles against Rodionova sis ... Sunitha and Andreja had chance in second set to go ahead 5-4 with breaking Rodionova's serve but they couldn't managed to convert break point.

Gaurav qualified for maindraw, but frankly all Indians results were as per their current ranking ... Still not our single player produce any upset win in home tournament ... I wish Saurav do some wonders against WR #27 Omar Mosaad but chances r less ... :(

Other hand Pak players having rocking tournament as their 4 players r in quarters, with huge upset win of Shahid Zaman over WR # 16.
