NEW DELHI, OCT 11: The only upset of the opening day of the main draw of the junior nationals at the DTA Complex today was a minor one, with under-14 eighth seed Sharanya Pattabi of Tamil Nadu bowing out to West Bengal8217;s Priyanka Parekh in straight sets 6-2, 6-1. Gujarat8217;s u-18 finalist Karishma Patel too faces the same dilemma. Patel while seeded six in the women8217;s, was unseeded in the u-18, where she eventually lost to Maharashtra8217;s Radhika Tulpule.

The only other surprises, if one can call them that, was how u-14 boys8217; second seed Vikrant Sane and number five Karan Rastogi both of Maharashtra were stretched to three sets by unfancied opponents P Vikas AP and VN Ranjeet TN.
