Huge upset win over top seed by Navdeep Singh ... Now he should use this opportunity to go deep into this futures ... Due to current lackluster performance from Karan, I was expecting win from Harsh ... But it looks Harsh having some mind block against Karan with whom this was his 3rd (or 4th?) consecutive loss.

Another huge upset win by Rohan Gajjar over top 475 player ... Really good to see when our players pull such upset wins ... Also nice to see Divij taking advantage of weak draw ... So our 6 players r in the second round ... Our 1 QF place is secure, hopefully we will see few more in quarters.
