Thank God Nitten Kirtane* is out in the first round -- for a long time he used to win a round or two in such tournaments reflecting negatively on the emerging players.

* I have nothing against Nitten Kirtane.

As usual the field on the mens side looks pretty thin with only 1 top 10 player - Vishnu entering here.

Womens field is a lot better with at least 4 of the top 10 playing.

These are the QF pairing for the mens and womens singles -

Mens singles -

(1) Vishnu VARDHAN (TS) vs. (6) Dalwinder SINGH (PB)
(3) Ranjeet VIRALI MURUGESAN (TN) vs. (6) Kunal ANAND (DL)
(8) Jayesh PUNGLIYA (MH) vs. Haadin BAVA (KL)
(7) Siddharth VISHWAKARMA (UP) vs. Tejas CHAUKULKAR (MH)

One upset was Tejas beating second seed Mohit Mayur. Other results went as expected.

Womens singles -

Mihika YADAV (MH) vs. (6) Eetee MAHETA (GJ)
(4) Pranjala YADLAPALLI (TS) vs. Jennifer LUIKHAM (HR)
(8) Nidhi CHILUMULA vs. (3) Riya BHATIA (DL)
Vaidehi CHAUDHARI (GJ) vs. Sharrmadda BALU (KA)

Some big upsets on womens side by younger players 16 year old Mihika Yadav upset top seed Dhruti Venugopal in first round, 17 year old Jeniffer Luikham upset 7th seed Sai Samitha and 16 year old Vaidaehi Chaudahari upset Sowjanya Bavisetti.

Nitin double-bagelled his opponents in both the 2nd and 3rd rounds of the U18 event. Incredible!

who is managing pranjala carrier what is she doing here in nationals

Yes, she should have continued in Thailand as Karman has done instead of coming back for nationals. If she is supported by her state tennis association, they might have insisted on her playing nationals. The prize money is attractive too ( I think Rs, 3 lakhs for title winner).

she should move to some European academy for training sitting here with Indian coaches is not going to do justice for her talent
