Third seeded Jeevan served strongly and played aggressive tennis to demolish his opponent.
The left-handed Elwin Antony played aggressively in the 2nd and 3rd sets scored a well deserved win over Vivek Shokeen, while Vijay Sundar Prashanth, V M Ranjeet and Vijayant Malik proved to be too good for their respective opponents.
