I m really disappointed with Vishnu'a attitude, who retired from the match when Vijay Sundar Prashanth needed only one game to secured upset win ... After singles Vishnu played in doubles and won it ... Today 3 matches ended after players retired from their matches.

Our 4 players r in quarters ... Interesting match between Rupesh and Karan.
