So 3 Indians r in singles semis ... Terrific solid victory by Divij over Jebavy.

Harsh ended spirited run of young Yuki ... But Rohan surprisingly had tough time against hot-headed Russian ... Rohan saved 1 match point when he was serving at 4-5 and 30-40 in second set in this 3 hrs match.

Creditable performance from 15 yrs old Yuki to played fuutres quarter-final and remained competitive against former #222 ... Now I m hoping for all Indians final with Harsh's win over Nam.
