At Asian Tennis Championship 2013, Bangkok, Thailand

[QF] (2) Sanam Singh (IND,319) l (5) Pruchya Isarow (THA,827) 36 retd.
[QF] (4) Vishnu Vardhan (IND,721) bt (7) Ting-Yu Chuang (TPE,939) 62 36 75

[SF] (4) Vishnu Vardhan (IND,721) vs (1) Ti Chen (TPE,305)

Doubles
[QF] Aqeel Khan (PAK)/ Vishnu Vardhan (IND) bt (4) Warit Sornbutnark (THA)/ Kittipong Wachiramanowong (THA) 76(5) 62

[SF] Aqeel Khan (PAK)/ Vishnu Vardhan (IND) vs (1) Hsin Han Lee (TPE)/ Hsien Yin Peng (TPE)

Sanam's decision of skipping Thai futures for this tournament backfired ... After losing the first he retired from the match ... I m hoping not a serious injury scare.

Vishnu stretched to three sets by his 900+ ranked Taipei opponent ... In the semi-final he is facing top-seed Ti Chen ... In the doubles also Vishnu in the semi-final with Aqeel after upsetting 4th seed Thai pair ... Here also they r facing top-seed Taipei pair for place in the final.

[SF] Karunuday Singh (IND,636) l Luke Saville (AUS,445) 36 63 36

Karunuday blew chance of entering in the final beating former junior WR #1 Luke Saville ... After losing the first set Karunuday fought back and was controlling the match ... He won the second set and had a break point in 1st game of the final set ... Karunuday missed that opportunity and after that Luke didn't gave him a chance on his own serve .. Luke broke Karunuday in 8th game and then hold his serve for completing the victory.

Really good comeback win by Ramkumar over his higher ranked German opponent ... Wietoska won the first set but Ramkumar turned his fortune take crucial break in the tight second set ... Ramkumar controlled the final set and completed victory ... In the final he is facing 15 yrs old talented Korean Duck Hee Lee for the title ... Duck Hee Lee is deaf player so his achievement is more remarkable .. Both players r trying for their first futures title.

Bala-Ranjeet lifted the doubles title after convincingly beating Mohit Mayur-Ramkumar after losing only 4 games.
