Huge comeback win for Ajay over top-65 Frenchman Simon Maunoury ... Anand and P. Kashyap starting to show more consistency in their results, though Kashyap snatched victory from jaws of defeat against Dutch qualifier ... Aditi scored easy victory against seeded player but facing tricky second round match against young unranked Chinese qualifier.

But feel sad for Trupti, who is still struggling with her long injury.
