Expected win by Saketh after he missed the chance of winning in Pune futures ... Interesting match-up between 2 ex-college players, Jeevan and Saketh ... Both will play this second round match with huge confidence after their first title wins in last 2 weeks ... Saketh having advantage with his huge serve and better court coverage but Jeevan can produce surprise with his powerful forehands and smart play .
