The match didn’t reach this intensity after the opening set as Raonic walked away with it to enter the second round.Prajnesh was the only Indian in the singles main draw after Ramkumar Ramanathan and Ankita Raina bowed out after losing their respective second round qualifying matches. Saketh Myneni had lost in the first round of the qualifiers.
