[R1] Purav Raja (IND)/ Sadik Kadir (AUS) l Hiroki Kondo (JPN)/ Go Soeda (JPN) 57 62 (8)10

Good comeback win by Somi but surprised to see he lost first set against Cervanak ... From scoreline it looks match was close as in last 2 sets also Somi won with a single break in each set ... Next Somi is facing Czech Dusan Lojda ... Today Dusan defeated Danai Udomchoke and this was his second upset win in this challenger so he looks in good nick.

Prakash couldn't produce much fight against Lu ... In whole match he was struggling with holding his serve.
