Winning start for RamK on his debut match against Korean Seong Chan Hong ...

But Saki failed to keep same intensity in the second and lose the set ... In the third set Saki lost his serve in 1st game but he recovered and broke back ... With another break he took this set with a single break advantage ... Saki's struggled with his fitness in the fourth, he was cramping badly in this set ... Lim broke Saki in 5th and 9th games for winning the set ... In the final set Lim also struggled with cramps and Saki broke him in 1st game and then again broke Lim in 5th game for taking 4-1 lead ... At 5-2 when Saki was serving for the match Lim retired for giving victory to Saki.
