[R1] (LL) Prajnesh Gunneswaran (IND,122) l (WC) Tatsuma Ito (JPN,145) 46 26 57

A very lackluster performance by Prajnesh against a 31-year-old, Ito ... In the first 2 sets, he played a loose game and didn't fight much on the court ... He tried little more in the third but that wasn't enough ... Disappointed by Prajnesh efforts in this match.
