[R2] Rutuja Bhosale (IND,600) vs (2) Jaqueline Adina Cristian (ROU,254)

The lucky escape for Karman in 3 hrs 10 mins match ... Karman was leading 5-2 with a double break in the third set ... But Riya broke her twice while she was serving for the match in 8th and 10th games ... In the tie-break, again Karman was leading 5-2, this time also Riya caught her at 5-all ... Karman won next 2 points for entering into the second round ... In this match, Karman won 114 pts and Riya won 117 ... Both players had 14 break point chances and they converted 4 of them.

A superb straight-sets upset win by young Mihika against top-450 Russian girl ... Expected, straight sets win for Rutuja.

I was hoping a win from Pranjala against experienced Fatma but she failed to keep her composure in crucial stages of the match ... After losing the first set Salsa gave a fighting performance in the second ... Nidhi and Prerna lost in the one-sided matches.

The tough matches for Sai, Mahak and Rutuja, but Karman has a game to win her second round ... Interesting match between Zeel and Mihika.
