Fourth seeded Saketh Myneni shocked Indonesian top seed Christopher Rungkat 6-2 6-1 in just 51 minutes while comeback- man Amritraj sent packing the Austrian eighth seed Nicolas Reissig 6-3 6-4 in one hour and 24 minutes.

Myneni put himself in line for a double crown as he won his second consecutive doubles title with Purav Raja.

The tops seeded Indian pair came back from being 1-4 down to scrape past second seeded N Sriram Balaji and Arun Kumar Rajagopalan 7-5 6-7(3) [10-5] in the summit clash.

The singles semifinals turned out to be damp squib, the 374th Myneni overpowered the tired looking top seed and 299th ranked Rungkat.
