For a second week in a row, Pranjala gets a tough first round match. Let's hope she pulls off an upset.

[R1] Ankita Raina (IND, 323) d Kayla Day (USA, 349; CH 122) 6-2 6-3
[R1] Sowjanya Bavisetti (IND, 649) d Zoe Hives (AUS, 520; CH 140) 2-6 6-4 1-0 (retired)
[R1] Pranjala Yadalaplli (IND,631) vs. (8) Yuki Naito (JPN,224) 0-6 4-6

Good wins for Ankita and Sowjanya.

Both are up against top 2 Korean players next.

[R2] Ankita Raina (IND,323) vs. (7) Na-Lae Han (K0R,210) - Ankita is 1-3 in head to head. Will need to turn it around.

[R2] Sowjanya Bavisetti (IND,649) vs. (2) Su Jeong Jang (KOR,179) - Sowjanya upset this Korea #1 a couple of weeks back. Can she repeat that result ?

Ankita won her second round match beating Han 6-3 6-4. I watched the match and she was flawless and full of positive energy despite the weather being a bit windy. She will face Sowjanya’s conqueror for a place in the semifinals.
