[R1] (WC) Suraj R. Prabodh (IND,841) vs (6) Quentin Halys (FRA,145)

I was hoping much stronger performance from Indians ... Mukund started with a solid win but a disappointing loss for Arjun.

In the main draw, Saki is facing against Adil ... Suraj having a tough match against the top-150 Frenchman, Quentin Halys ... Prajnesh is facing Russian Ivan Nedelko ... The defending champion Sumit needs to start with an upset win against the top-175 Britisher, Jay Clarke.
