Former national champion Anupama Upadhyaya advanced to the second round, but India’s men’s singles campaign suffered a setback as none of the players could make it past the opening round on Day 2 of the India Open on Wednesday. For all the talk of home advantage, Kiran George was the only Indian to survive in men’s singles as Lakshya Sen, Priyanshu Rajawat, and HS Prannoy all suffered contrasting defeats on Day 2 of the USD 950,000 Super 750 tournament. In women’s singles, Anupama joined PV Sindhu in the second round, defeating her good friend and fellow Gopichand Academy trainee Rakshitha Sree 21-17, 21-18.
