This week big Indian contingent participating in Vietnam Grand Prix Open ... Interesting to see how our youngsters like Guru, Saurabh, Prannoy and Sindhu perform ... Ajay is having good chance to build on his recent World Championship success.

But poor start for Saurabh, who lost in 3 games after winning the first against lower ranked Hong Kong player ... Qualifier below 475 ranked Malaysian stretched Ajay to 3 games ... Other hand Guru scored convincing victory and Prannoy scored good fighting win over higher ranked Malaysian to moved into the second round.
