Only Yuki and Abhinav, who again got lucky as his opponent retired but importantly he kept fighting till late of the second set, won their matches on the second day ... This turn to be terrible challenger for Indian contingent as only 4 players moved into the second round from 13 players ... In that, our two seeded players - Sumit and Prajnesh - lost cheaply in the first round ... I am thoroughly disappointed seeing our players performance in their home challenger.
