Sai Karthik (IND)/ Mohit Mayur (IND) bt Hong Jung (KOR)/ Kisu Jung (KOR) 63 62

India lost to Korea 1-2 but made it to the quarterfinals as one of the 3 second place teams ... But more interestingly, instead of playing the top seeds Japan, we r playing unseeded Hong Kong, who upset Japan ... Now we only need to win match against Hong Kong to qualify for World Group matches.

QuarterFinals -
(5) India bt Hong Kong 3-0
(4) South Korea bt (6) Thailand 3-0
(3) China bt (7) Chinese Taipei 3-0
(2) Australia bt (1) Japan 3-0

Mohit Mayur (IND) bt Kwun Ho (James) Kong (HKG) 63 62
Rohit Bisht (IND) bt Chak Ting (Justin) To (HKG) 61 60
Mohit Mayur (IND)/ Sai Kartik (IND) bt Kwun Ho (James) Kong (HKG)/ Siu Fai (Kelvin) Lam (HKG) 61 64

With that we confirm our ticket to Prostejov ... :D But in semis we r again facing tough Korean challenge, we need to win this match to get little favourable draw at World Group matches at Prostejov ... But still very creditable perfromance by our boys.
