[Q1] Prakash Amritraj (IND,275) l Sergei Bubka (UKR,289) 57 57
[Q1] Rohan Bopanna (IND,487) bt (WC) Kevin Kraweitz (GER,1054) 76(5) 64

[Q2] Rohan Bopanna (IND, 487) vs Adrien Bossel (SUI,472)

Good win by Rohan over current top 10 junior Kraweitz ... After longtime Rohan was playing in singles, in this match he hit 17 aces and I think that make difference in the final result.

But otherhand surprising loss of Prakash against Ukrainean ... It seems Prakash is struggling with his game on his favourite court.
