Amazing start for Karan after 16 months injury break, where he had surgery on his back ... As per report he was looking fit and didn't look rusty on the court ... Rupesh hammered Vivek which shows his current good form ... Vijay Sundar Prashanth and Rounak loks impressive though they lost their matches.

Purav scored very impressive but shocking comeback victory against in form Vishnu Vardhan ... Frankly this result I wasn't expected ... Now I only wish Purav go deep in to the draw and for Vishnu this was big lost opportunity to gather more ranking points.
