Balaji got blown away in the third set but before that he produced excellent fight ... In the first set Balaji lost closely fought tie-break but he came back to win the second set tie-break ... Hoping no injury issue after looking at third set score.

This first match in the challenger was tough after their first ATP title win for Divij-Purav ...

After losing the first set Divij-Purav fought hard and saved couple of match points before winning the second set ... But they failed to keep same momentum in the match tie-break.
Sanam-Ruan r facing Canadian pair in the quarters.
