Up next was Pocasangre Kreling, who made his mark in the third flight with a 6-3, 6-1 winner. The senior was the only player to record a match point in both singles and doubles. Kenyon locked up the win in the sixth flight, when Sree Kondaveeti came away victorious with a 6-2, 6-1 win. 

Kedar Dixit and Stylianos Papamichael and were each tied one set apiece in the fourth and fifth flights respectively when they were abandoned, while A. Gonzalez trailed 0-1 in the second.
