Arjun, KU and Aryan Goveas has entered the main draw list of this $25K+H ITF series. Wise move by Arjun as this tournament provides hospitality which means more points as well.

F1 Futures:
Results from Day 1

Markus ERIKSSON (SWE,298) [1] 6-0 7-5 Suraj R PRABODH (IND,1120)
Karunuday SINGH (IND,616) 6-4 6-3 Jakub PAUL (SUI,782)
Aryan GOVEAS (IND,753) 6-4 6-2 Ismael Changawa Ruwa MZAI (KEN,UNR)
Dalwinder SINGH (IND,1044) 7-6(7) 7-6(2) Thomas SETODJI (FRA,878)

Great upset from Dalwinder Singh.

Second round will be tougher for all of them against seeds.

[R2] Karunuday SINGH (IND,616) vs. (5) Jelle SELS (NED,496)

[R2] Aryan GOVEAS (IND,753) vs. (7) Joao MENEZES (BRA,500)

[R2] Dalwinder SINGH (IND,1044) vs. (2) Maximilian NEUCHRIST (AUT,351)

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

All of them lost although Aryan gave a decent fight.

[R2] Karunuday SINGH (IND,616) l. (5) Jelle SELS (NED,496) 46 46

[R2] Aryan GOVEAS (IND,753) l. (7) Joao MENEZES (BRA,500) 64 26 46

[R2] Dalwinder SINGH (IND,1044) l. (2) Maximilian NEUCHRIST (AUT,351) 26 36

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.

Arjun will be there from next week.

This week Suraj Prabodh and Dalwinder qualified for the main draw.

Surprising one sided loss for Arjun against a lower ranked player . Rusty after 1 month lay off ?

Very good fight by Dalwinder against a player close to top 300.

Next,

[R2] (Q) Suraj R PRABODH (IND,1076) vs. Remi BOUTILLIER (FRA,626)

[R2] Aryan GOVEAS (IND,744) vs. (6) Moez ECHARGUI (TUN,462)

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!

A superb upset wins by Aryan and Suraj against their higher ranked opponents ... Next, they r having more tougher challenges as both r playing against top-350 players.

Great wins for both Suraj and Aryan.

Arjun managed to win somehow in doubles and is in the SF with his American partner.
