At $447K Chennai open 2017, India

[R1] (Q) Yuki Bhambri (IND,477) bt (WC) Ramkumar Ramanathan (IND,227) 61 61
[R1] (WC) Saketh Myneni (IND,192) l (7) Mikhail Youzhny (RUS,57) 46 36

[R2] (Q) Yuki Bhambri (IND,477) vs (5) Benoit Paire (FRA,47)

Yuki played flawless tennis for very dominating win over RamK inside an hour ... Yuki didn't gave any chance to RamK for settling in this match ... He exploited RamK's backhand weakness and was solid on the net ... Feeling bad for RamK but really heartening performance by Yuki ... Next he is facing top-50 Frenchman Benoit Paire.

Saki lost in straight sets against Youzhny after giving decent fight ... In the first set Saki had a break point in 5th game which eh failed to convert ... In 10th game while serving for staying in the set Saki was 40-15 up but suddenly he became tight and Youzhny took advantage of it converting 3rd set point ... In the second set Youzhny broke Saki in 2nd game to lead 0-3 ... After that both players hold respective service games for Yuzhney's win ... Saki was looking rusty as he made few unforced errors and his forehand wasn't looking potent as usually it does.
