Aqeel Khan skipped Kolkata futures, mostly due to an election in Pakistan ... But entering as lucky loser Rohan Gide take full advantage of it beating 750 places higher fellow Indian Navdeep Singh ... Also wildcard Ranjeet made winning start and confirming atleast 1 Indian in quarter-finals ... I m little surprised by Vishnu's win over Karan, but considering Karan's poor phase of results this wasn't unexpected also .. So now our only 4 players r in second round ... But atleast our 1 player will be in quarters ... But I luv our 3 players in quarters .. We can hope good performance from Vivek and Vishnu.

In doubles pair of Vishnu and Vinod scored upset win over seeded pair of Vivek and Ashutosh in straight sets ... Also our top seed pair lost but our second string players scored fancied win over their senior opponents.
