Led by top seed Prajnesh Gunneswaran, India’s top singles players progressed to the pre-quarterfinals with contrasting victories, but Saketh Myneni was knocked out of the KPIT-MSTLA Challenger after being in a position of strength here today.

India No. 1 Gunneswaran needed just 49 minutes to demolish Chandril Sood 6-1 6-3, while third seed Sumit Nagal quelled a late challenge from Aryan Goveas to emerge a 6-3 7-6(5) winner.

Sixth seed Ramkumar Ramnathan hammered eight aces on his way to a 6-3 6-4 win over Greece’s Markos Kalovelonis. Eighth seed Sasikumar Mukund beat Japanese doubles specialist Toshide Matsui 6-2 6-3.

Myneni was leading 6-3 4-2 against Turkish Ergi Kirkin but the 10th seeded Indian lost 6-3 5-7 4-6. — PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
