Emanuel ivanisevic

Pranav Senthil Kumar: Arnav Paparkar overcame an inexplicable second set lapse to go past Croatia's Emanuel Ivanisevic and secure his place in the quarterfinals of the boys' event of the ITF J300 event along with top seed Pranav Senthil Kumar while Maaya Rajshwaran Revathi also cruised into the last-eight of the girls singles.

Arnav made a resounding set by pocketing the opening set but could not win a single game in the second set as the Croat forced a decider. The young Indian recovered just in time to raise his game and close the pre-quarterfinal with a 6-3, 0-6, 6-4 scoreline in his favour. To his credit, Ivanisevic made it as tough for Arnav as possible despite a sluggish start.

Also moving to the quarterfinals were Senthil and Samarth Sahita. Senthil had no trouble in dispatching Alexey Shibaev 6-2, 6-3 while Samarth prevailed in an all-Indian clash against Varun Verma 6-4, 6-4.
