Impressive start for Indian players in Danish Super Series ... Guru continued with his giant killing with biggest victory of his small career beating top-20 player first time ... He managed to win in straight games against Przemyslaw Wacha in only 34 minutes ... Baxter pushed Arvind Bhat to fullest in second game ... Arvind was 2 points away from losing match but he kept cool to win important points in second game and in third game he dominated to script victory in 1 hour 3 minutes ... Anand Pawar also started with win against similar ranked French player in straight games ... Aditi also take advantage of her weaker opponent to moved into second round.

Jwala and Ashwini started with win in ladies doubles ... It looks Jwala and Diju take time to adjust but after winning close first game they dominated second to move into second round ... Where thry r facing another British pair.

Saina stretched to third game by her Russian opponents ... Saina must be rusty after taking such long break ... In this match she needed comeback victory but hopefully from next match she finds her touch ... Chetan scored straight game victory and he is again facing local player in next round.

Tomorrow our 4 out of 6 players facing seeded opponents so very tough matches for them.
