[R3] (15) Chetan Anand (IND,15) vs (6) Sony Dwi Kuncoro (INA,6)

So expected winning start for Saina against Russian, hopefully she is fully recover and match-fit (three games) after her bout against chicken-pox ... Also our young doubles pair Akshay Dewalkar and Jishnu Sanyal produced good fight against seeded pair.

As expected easy victory for Chetan, next he is facing Indonasian WR #6 Sony Kuncoro ... Kashyap started well against WR #2 Jin Chen winning first game but after that Jin Chen adjusted his game to Kashyap and toyed with him to score comfortable victory in next 2 games.
