The doubles pair of Rohan Bopanna and Marcel Granollers of Spain, beat Guillermo Garcia-Lopez and David Mamero 6-1, 6-4 to make the quarterfinals of the €2,442,740 ATP tennis tournament in Switzerland on Tuesday.
In the Challenger in China, Prajnesh Gunneswaran continued with his good run, and defeated Johan Tatlot of France in straight sets. It was a significant victory for Prajnesh as he had lost to the same opponent in their last meeting in a Futures event in Nigeria last year.
However, second seed Ramkumar Ramanathan was beaten by qualifier Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain in straight sets. Another Davis Cupper, Sumit Nagal who had qualified into the main draw, was also beaten by Tatsuma Ito of Japan.
