Today 2 retirements and both against Indian players ... More importantly in their respective matches Ankita and Isha won first set against their formidable opponents.

Sunitha won easily against tricky Ksenia Palkina ... Top seed Klepac lost in one-sided match, yesterday she retired from her doubles match so mostly she didn't recover fully from her injury in today's single match.
