Crap draw for Indian players as they r facing each other ... I was hoping lot closer matches between Buji against VSP and Saki against Sanam ... But our top-200 players show superiority over their country men for comfortable straight sets win ... Bala starts with dominating upset win over top-200 Chilean opponent.

Next Bala is facing Croatian Ante Pavic, who scores upset win over top-seed and in form Elias Ymer ... Buji is facing 2nd seed Britisher James Ward ... Saki is facing 3rd seed Italian Thomas Fabbiano.

In main-draw RamK is having decent draw as he is facing 98th ranked Spanish Daniel Gimeno-Traver .

In the doubles Mahesh is participating with protected ranking with Muller and they r facing top-seed pair ... Buji and Jeevan having decent draw but Bala and RamK r facing 4th seed pair ... 2nd seed Lee and Granollers r having tricky match against Stan and Garcia-Lopez.
