Vaidehi has beaten this girl Monique Barry 3 times in last 2 months all in straight sets. She must be hating to see Vaidehi in her part of the draw.

Hope we get at least 2 of the 3 wins here tomorrow, all 3 would be great.

Nice upset win by Sid Rawat against second seed. He seems to be getting back to good form after a longish break perhaps due to injury.
