[QF] (ALT) Prajnesh Gunneswaran (IND)/ Saketh Myneni (IND) bt Ruben Gonzales (PHI)/ Christopher Rungkat (INA) 75 64

Expected win for Yuki but good to see he handled Bachinger in straight sets, his next opponent is talented local qualifier.

RamK struggled to win this match against big server ... After winning the first set RamK had a chance to finish in two ... He lost the second set and last set also went to tie-break ... Next, he is facing tricky Dudi Sela.

Saki and Prajnesh scored another good win in the doubles against good doubles pair.
