Anand take advantage of weaker draw and he is in the third round ... Arvind had a tough match against top 10 Hong Kong player Yun Hu ... Arvind showed his old touch and scored huge upset win ... He defeated Yun Hu in three games and in that convincingly winning the final game ... Prannoy scored upset win over his higher ranked senior Kashyap in straight games ... Thulasi scored huge upset when she defeated top-25 Danish girl Li Michelle after losing first game ... After losing first game Arundhati was 16-19 down in second ... Arundhati won next four points and then converted 2nd game point to won it ... The last game also closely fought which Arundhati prevailed.

So turned to be terrific day for Indians as many of them defeated higher ranked opponents but in next round almost all r facing seeded opponents ... Hoping for at least couple of upsets.
