Overall expected results but good to see Sumit started with win against his Spanish opponent ... RamK also started with a win but his Russian opponent stretched him to three sets ... Saki scored excellent comeback win over big serving 6'8" Serb ... Early he was struggling against his Serbian opponent as he lost the first set in 18 mins ... But Saki fought back for winning the second set ... In the decider both players failed to break other, in tie-break Saki took early mini-break for leading 3-1 and that he increased to 6-2 ... Saki converted 2nd match point for exciting win.

In the doubles Purav-Divij scored win in straight sets but French pair stretched them in this match.
