Sid and Mukund lost in R2 singles

[jaydeep]

Yes, a poor day for Indians as our all players lose their matches in the singles and doubles ... Mukund lost in 2 tie-breaks against his French opponent ... Sid won the second set against his Italian opponent but lost other 2 sets easily.
Arjun and Denis managed to win a single game against their South American pair.

Sid is showing some signs of life at the challenger level while Arjun Kadhe does appear over-matched. Significant step up in level for both of them, so hopefully they find their footing at this level soon.
