At $15K China F3 Futures, Taizhou

[QF] (4) RASTOGI Karan (IND,480) bt XU Jun-Chao (CHN,656) 62 64

[SF] (4) RASTOGI Karan (IND,480) vs LI Zhe (CHN,837)

Doubles -
[F] (2) RASTOGI Karan (IND)/ SINGH Ashutosh (IND) bt (1) EBDEN Matthew (AUS)/ KLEIN Brydan (AUS) 62 63

So another easy victory in quarters and facing another Chinese in semis ... Karan is creating some sort of record of beating Chinese in a row ... ;-)

Also he and Ashutosh won doubles crown against top seed without much trouble ... I think this performance in singles and doubles will help Karan to bring back his game and confidence together.
