Tata Open: Hyeon Chung knocked out; Kevin Anderson, Benoit Paire, Jaume Munar progress to Quarter-Finals

Pune Jan 2 (UNI) Day three of the Tata Open Maharashtra saw World No 95 Ernests Gulbis cause an upset against second-seeded Hyeon Chung to progress to the Quarter-Finals of the singles competition here on Wednesday.
The Latvian defeated the world no 25 South Korean in straight sets 7-6, 6-2 in their second round match held here at the Mhalunge Balewadi Stadium. Top-seed and World No 6 Kevin Anderson also secured his berth in the Quarter-Finals as he defeated 23-year-old Laslo Djere in straight sets 7-6, 7-6.
In the first of four big singles matches of the day, it was Gulbis who came from four games down in the opening set to win in the tie-breaker and turn the momentum in his favour winning the first set 7-6. Gulbis used his first serve to his advantage, winning 23 points which included eight aces during the entire match. Whereas, Chung seemed to have lost confidence after going down in the first set and could not return well enough to stay in the match as he lost out the second set 2-6 in what was a disappointing display for the 22-year-old.
