Balsekar Lone Indian to Reach Karnataka Open Main Draw
Aditya Vishal Balsekar is through. The rest of the Indians are not.
The Indian qualifier beat higher-ranked Grigoriy Lomakin of Kazakhstan in the final qualifying round to enter the Karnataka Open main draw — the only home player to survive. Every other Indian entrant lost their qualifying match and was eliminated.
A small win. But in a tournament that favours seeds and established names, making the main draw matters. Balsekar is in.
