Disappointing second round results for Indians after memorable first round ... Only Yuki and Vijay Sundar remain in the draw ... After losing first set Yuki made good comeback for winning next two sets ... Vijay Sundar scores expected win against Buji considering Buji's recent form ... In the first set Vijay Sundar took a break in 11th game for winning it ... In second set Vijay Sundar broke Buji in 3rd game and then again in 7th game for winning it comfortably.

Other hand Vishnu and RamK give fighting performance against top-150 players in their loss ... Prajnesh wins first set but after that Ti Chen prove too strong him .. Sumit got injured in his match and then reflected in his result ... Bit disappointed by Sanam's straight sets loss.

In the doubles our all three seeded pairs in the semis but Sumit-Vishnu give walkover to their opponents due to Sumit's back injury.
