At $15K India F11 Futures, Pune

Quarter Finals
(1) Daniel KING-TURNER (NZL) bt (WC) Karan RASTOGI (IND) 63 62
(4) Young-Jun KIM (KOR) bt (8) Rupesh ROY (IND) 26 62 63
(6) Rohan GAJJAR (IND) bt Vijayant MALIK (IND) 60 63
(2) Alexander SATSCHKO (GER) bt (5) Ranjeet VIRALI-MURUGESAN (IND) 61 63

As per report, Rupesh lost his focus after winning first set and Kim take full advantage of it.

Vijayant Malik played casually losing first 9 game to Rohan to seal fate of the match ... German Alexander Satschko looks very strong in this futures, he didn't give any chance to his opponent in all 3 matches.

Dan won 1st game with 3 aces and other hand Karan committed 2 double faults to lose his first game ... After that Dan never lost control over the match.

Happy with Karan's performance in his first tournament after 14 months break ... And I think he will be back in top-400 in few months if he remain injury free.
