Vishnu, could you please just post a snippet of the quoted text rather than the whole thing when you respond to someone’s post? It makes reading and managing the thread easier. Thanks.

[R2] Kunal Anand (IND,1167) l. (1) Ivan Nedelko (RUS,273), 64 63
[R2] Jayesh Pungliya (IND,1080) l. Darko Bojanovic (BIH,1132), 46 76(4) 57

Re: African ITF Series April-May 2018 ( Nigeria,Uganda)
A little better results in the last 2 matches.
[R2] S D Prajwal Dev (IND,1354) d. (Q) Christoffer Solberg (SWE,1916) 64 57 63
[R2] Ranjeet Virali-Murugesan (IND,1252) l. (Q) Vasisht Cheruku (IND,1942) 63 76(6)
Good couple of wins by 21 year old Prajwal Dev, one of the younger ones out here. Would have liked 18 year old Vasisht to beat 32 year old Ranjit but the veteren proved too strong. Heard of Vasisht as talented player and has been training in acadamy in Spain. But, looks to be still taking time to win much in pros.
Tough matches for all our players in second round ( including the Kiwindian too here)-
[QF] S D Prajwal Dev (IND,1354) vs. (1) (1) Ivan Nedelko (RUS,273)
[QF] Ranjeet Virali-Murugesan (IND,1252) vs. (3) Takanyi GARANGANGA (ZIM,530)

Other than Kunal, I don't see anyone producing an upset/winning tomorrow. Will Dhruv/Prajwal surprise us?

Good to see 18 year old Dhruv Sunish get a win and a berth in the QFs. Hasn't done much so far but has a win over Sasi Mukund earlier this year, so he does seem to have potential...

Good to see the progress by young Dhruv Sunish. Losing to the 3rd seed is no disgrace.

Re: African ITF Series April-May 2018 ( Nigeria,Uganda)
Can you update the thread title to include Zimbabwe also? There is a series of $15K Futures starting next week in Zimbabwe and we have plenty of players in MD and QD, 14 in total.
Arjun Mahadevan is seen in the Q list - his dad is one of the SIC members here. Arjun has turned 18 and is starting to play in the Pro circuit it seems.
