Navneet Kumar who originally hails from Allahabad, looked out of sorts today and committed a number of unforced errors. Things started happening for Gurinder Singh after the first six games as he won the first set 6-4. In the second set too, Gurinder was brilliant and efficient not allowing Navneet Kumar a single break-point.
