Sanam take a bizarre decision of playing in this Asian Tennis championship ... He was playing in the fututres event and won first 2 rounds but now he is playing in this tournament which having more prize money but zero ranking points ... The ITF will definitely going to penalized Sanam for his actions ... Surprisingly tough wins for our players in the first round ... After producing little upset Garvit got upset from unranked Indonesian in one-sided match ... Sanam is comfortably in the quarters but Vishnu struggled against local wild-card player ... Next both having winnable matches.

Bala must be tired in these demanding condition as he was finalists (with the title win last week) in last two weeks futures and more over also he participated in the doubles in all three futures ...

So only Ramkumar is remaining in the singles.
