Kaza continue with his terrific form and score big upset win over top-120 Russian Kudryavtsev in entertaining match ... After winning first set Kaza was 5-6 break down in the second but Kaza broke Kudryavtsev to make it 6-all ... Kudryavtsev won second set in tie-break but after losing set also Kaza kept his focus ... In final set he matched Kudryavtsev and this time won tie-break for completing upset win.

Vijay Sundar Prashanth score upset win over Yuki in comeback win ... Yuki dominated one and half set ... He won first set 61 and leading 3-1 in the second set but after that suddenly his game dipped down ... VSP took full advantage and used his huge service for his benefit ... VSP completed with winning third set comfortably.

Sasi also score upset win over top-250 German Torebko ... After winning first set Sasi lost second set cheaply against Torebko ... But afterwards Sasi recovered and won final set with double break ... Other hand Vishnu and Jeevan lose their respective matches in straight sets.

This is pleasent surprise that our three players in final qualifying round ... Moreover these are least expected players ... Now all three players need to cross final hurdle to play on ATP tour with another upset win over top-150 players ... Hopefully at least one of them croos the line.
