Good start by Indians in singles and doubles .. Vijayant Malik scored upset comeback win over Japanese opponent ... In doubles Vivek scored good win with his Japanese partner against Udomchoke and his German partner ... Srirambalaji and Vijay Sunder also started with upset win over their 3rd seed opponent pair.

On second day only Karan won his first round match but Vijay Sunder gave creditable fighting performance against top-seed Japanese player ... Forgettable match for Ronak ... Karan having interesting second round match up against former top-100 Thai Danai Udomchoke.
