At $50K Shanghai Challenger, China

[R1] (4) Yuki Bhambri (IND,145) vs (WC) Zhizhen Zhang (CHN,593)
[R1] Saketh Myneni (IND,199) vs Qualifier
[R1] (6) Somdev Devvarman (IND,152) vs Nicolas Barrientos (COL,258)

Doubles
[R1] (4) N. Sriram Balaji (IND)/ Saketh Myneni (IND) vs Zhe Li (CHN)/ Hiroki Moriya (JPN)

Yuki is facing 18 yrs Chinese wild-card player in the first round ... Saki is facing qualifier ... Buji is facing Colombian top-250 type Nicolas Barrientos and I think this is tricky match considering Buji's recent patchy performance.

In the doubles only Saki and Bala r playing and they r 4th seed.
