Prajnesh is in the second round with winning both tie-breaks against a similar ranked Maden ... Prajnesh played a consistent game throughout the match ... He broke Maden in the first set and was serving for the set at 5-3 ... Prajnesh failed to hold his serve and in the tie-break, he came back from 0-3 to win it ... In the second set tie-break, from 4-5 he won the next 3 points for winning the set and match ... Next, he is facing a 22 yrs-old Soonwoo Kwon.

An expected loss for Arjun against Jiri Vesely in his straight-sets loss.

Lee's #OneLastRoar continues in the Tata Open ... I am hoping one last title for him ... He and Ebden started strongly and win the first set comfortably ... In the second set, both pairs held their respective service games but again, Lee and Ebden played smart tennis and completed win against the 2nd seed Divij and Artem ... Next, they will play against a winner between Purav-Ram and Sumit-Egor ... Sumit is playing in the doubles as an alternate pair with Gerasimov.
