[R1] (Q) Prakash Amritraj (IND,314) vs (Q) Brydan Klein (GBR,275)
In the first set Praksha was holding his serve comfortably and missed couple of break points on Greg's serve in 3rd game ... Prakash take break in 7th game to lead 4-3 but Greg immediately broke back and made it 4-all ... Prakash dominated tie-break which he won losing only couple of points ... In the second set also Prakash take first break, he broke Greg's serve in 4th game to lead 3-1 ... This time also Pralkash failed to consolidate his break and lost his serve in next game and back on serve, 3-2 ... Greg take crucial break on Prakash's serve in 9th game to lead 4-5 ... Greg won the second set after holding his serve (after deuce).
In the opeing game of 3rd set Prakash saved a break point before holding his serve and immediately broke Greg in next game to lead 2-0 ... Prakash managed crucial hold in 3rd game after saving break point ... Prakash take full control of the set after again breaking Greg's serve in 4th game, 4-0 ...
