[SF] Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan (IND,359) l (5) Chase Buchanan (USA,263) 46 46

Dream run of Jeevan ends in the semi-final against Buchanan but overall satisfactory performance by Jeevan ... In the first set Chase broke Jeevan early and kept that advantage for winning this set ... In the second set also Chase kept pressure on Jeevan's serve and take important break in 9th game for winning this set and match.

At $25K ITF Women's Tournament, Tianjin, China

[QF] (3) Ankita Raina (IND,290) l (Q) Zhaoxuan Yang (CHN,854) 46 57

Doubles
[SF] Ankita Raina (IND)/ Fatma Al Nabhani (OMA) bt (4) Wen-Hsin Hsu (TPE)/ Chen Liang (CHN) 62 62

[F] Ankita Raina (IND)/ Fatma Al Nabhani (OMA) l (3) Chang Liu (CHN)/ Ran Tian (CHN) 46 57

I was hoping win for Ankita in the singles but Chinese qualifier Yang prove better player ... Yang defeated Ankita in tight two sets ... After that Ankita played her doubles semi-final ... She won it comfortably against 4th seed pair with Fatma ... Surprisingly organizers decided to play final today only ... In the final our pair faced 3rd seed Chinese pair ... Ankita-Fatma fought hard but must be tired of playing 3rd match of the day and they lost in close match.
