<p>Yuki, who returned home last week after bowing out of a Challenger qualifiers in Uzbekistan, looked rusty and uncharacteristically committed unforced errors. The 17-year-old junior Australian champion gained an early break in the first set but squandered the advantage in the seventh game when Bradshaw hit a powerful forehand crosscourt. Yuki then frittered away three break points in the next game.<br /><br />The Delhi boy, however, soon regained his touch to break Bradshaw in the eighth game, when the latter hit a forehand long, before serving out the set. <br /><br />Yuki carried the momentum into the second set, breaking Bradshaw early before closing the set and the match. He next plays American Shane La Porte. <br /><br />In a rain delayed start, Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan put up a spirited display before collapsing on the court with cramps and retiring at 6-0, 6-7 (5), 6-6 against compatriot Rupesh Roy. This is the second time in two weeks that Nedunchezhiyan had to retire mid-way a match.<br /><br />Nedunchezhiyan breezed through the first set and was leading 3-1 in the second when Roy broke back to force a tie-break and clinch it.<br /><br />Nedunchezhiyan raced to a 4-0 lead in the decider before cramping. Though in pain, Nedunchezhiyan decided to carry on, allowing Roy to take the set to the tie-breaker. <br /> <br />Roy next plays last week’s winner and third seed Kim Young-jun who dispatched Briton Sean Thornley 6-1, 6-3.<br /><br />In the other singles matches, Vivek Shokeen pulled off an upset, beating fourth— seeded Kento Takeuchi 6-3, 6-4. Shokeen next plays Australian of Indian origin K Balakrishnan who advanced as Hsien-yin Peng of Chinese Taipei retired trailing 6-2, 2-0.<br /><br />Top seed Vishnu Vardhan overcame N Prashanth 7-5, 6-3 in a keenly contested match. Vardhan next plays Vijayant Malik, who dispatched Yannick Nelord 6-3, 6-3.</p>
