Looks like Ramya retired in the final qualifying match. She took a medical timeout after the end of the second set and tried to continue.
Ramya NATARAJAN (IND,1091) [1] l Yi Tsen CHO (TPE,UNR) 7-6(4) 4-6 0-3 retired
Ramya has a doubles match later. I wonder if she will be able to play doubles.

Great win from Sowjanya. The key to a big win is to follow it up with a string of wins. Good to see Ramya back on court for doubles -- so the injury may not have been serious (or did she RamK? ).

Winner of the above 2 matches plays each other in QF. At least, we will have one Indian in the semis.

I liked bujilover's implicit confidence in Sowjanya...!

Re: $15K Thailand Women's ITF Tour - May 1/7 2018
I agree with Dinesh (bujilover). I was nitpicking. Sowjanya is a under-ranked at this point and hopefully will get back to the top 600 soon.

But, you should never look beyond a round in Tennis . Sowjanya just lost the first set 2-6 against the Chinese qualifier.

Yes, sadly, Sowjanya lost 26 46. I just logged in and saw them shake hands at the end of the match...

I think Sowjanya took a medical timeout in the first set. So she is might not be 100%.

That 17 year old Chinese girl is not even ranked decent in either of the circuits (junior, pro). How unpredictable some of these Indian players are?
