David Goffin surprised Somi with his aggressive game, he walked on the court with proper plan which he executed to the perfection ... Other hand Somi struggled with his regular game ... Depth in shots were missing, service returns were not upto the mark, also not a great serving from him and he failed to read 20 yrs Goffin's game ... So today our players lost all their respective matches.

Rohan and Wawrinka's match went same way like last year ... In first set Rohan played loose service game 7th game to lose this set ... In second set he gave early break in first game ... Rohan had a chance of breaking back in 8th game when he was 15-40 leading but failed to convert break point ... Then both players hold their serves and Rohan lost second set on similar score like first set.

Yuki received tough and ruthless lesson of tour match from experienced Kudryavtsev in one-sided match ... Kudryavtsev won match in 50 mins ... Was expecting better fighting performance from Yuki.

Bolelli and Tipsarevic tamed Vishnu and Divij in their first round match.
