At last fatigue catches with Saki ... In last two weeks he played 17 matches so I was hoping he must be planning of skipping Pune challenger ... But he plays and lose his match in three sets ... In first set Saki was 3-5 down and from here he made excellent comeback for winning this set ... After that Saki struggled with his game and Ilya Ivashka took full advantage for winning next two sets comfortably ... Hopefully Saki will be fresh and make big noise in big Thailand challenger.

Vijay Sundar gives himself terrific birthday gift with scoring straight sets win over top-275 Belgian player in straight sets.

Buji scores straight sets win over Frenchman but he labored in both sets ... Other hand Sanam continues with his terrific form and score dominating win over his Italian opponent Bega after early break down in first set.

Heartening performance by Aryan and Ranjeet in their losses ... 17 yrs old Aryan was double break up 4-1 in first set but he lost break advantage to 4-all ... Aryan take set in tie-break and won it with losing a single point ... After that Germain raised his game and despite Aryan's effort Germain won next two sets ... Ranjeet was outperformed by Ward in first set ... In second Ranjeet was down 0-3 but he fought back to win this set but after that Ward dominated next set for winning without losing a game.

Expected winning start for our all doubles pairs.
