[R1] (7) Prajnesh Gunneswaran (IND,169) bt Mohamed Safwat (EGY,198) 76(7) 62
[R1] (Q) Saketh Myneni (IND,328) vs Renta Tokuda (JPN,307)

Prajnesh started his Ningbo campaign with a good straight sets victory over top-200 ranked Safwat.
Disappointing loss for Ramk after winning the first set against Chung ... After dominating the first set he lost next two sets in the tie-breaks ... As per the report, in the second set, he was serving for the match at 5-4 and then, in the third set he was serving for the match at 5-3 but both time he failed to hold his serve ... Also, he had a couple of match points in the second set tie-break, including one on his serve, which he failed to convert.

In the final qualifying, Saki scored a dominating win over Tanuma ... Next, he is facing Japanese youngster, Renta Tokuda, in the first round ... Considering Arjun's struggle against his Chinese opponent I was expecting this loss against Takahashi, but not this one-sided
