Still Aryan (against a Brazilian on Hard) and KU (with his talent) should win their R2 matches. :D

Just noticed, 38-year-old Vinod Sridhar played here and lost in the FQR after a good fight.

QR1 Vinod SRIDHAR (IND,UNR) 6-3 7-6(4) Emmanuel IDOKO (NGR,UNR)
FQR Franco FEITT (ARG,1177) [2] 6-4 3-6 7-6(10) Vinod SRIDHAR (IND,UNR)

I think he may be currently coaching one of the fellow Indian players who lost in the Qualifying draw as well.

Shocking scoreline in Arjun's upset loss in R1. I hope he has actually recovered from whatever was ailing him.
Disappointing stuff in Africa, just as our players are lighting up the sky in China!
