Mukund Sasikumar, Manish Suresh Kumar, Nitin Kumar Sinha and Vijay Sundar Prashanth have been awarded the wild cards for the Chennai Open Challenger

It is a home tournament for VSP but given that he is already 31 not sure how good it is a decision to award him with a singles WC

He might play with Matsui as well with whom he has won a challenger before. Lets see

The Swedes were the last pair in the entry list. If Bala and Vishnu play to their potential, they should be able to get past the Swedes. Hopefully it will be a good start to the Indian campaign
