Karan scored comfortable win beating unseeded Thai player but Yuki got shocking defeat from Uzbek Davis cupper ... After winning first set Yuki lost focus and lost second set ... In third he was a break down but he broke back to make it 5-all ... Again Inoyatov broke him in 11th game and hold his service to win this match ... Disappointing performance by top-seed Yuki, may be lack of match practice can be the reason.

I m rooting for Karan to lift his first title after coming out of career threatening injury.

In doubles Vivek and Ashtosh lifted title.
