India’s Sidharth Rawat outclassed Dali Blanch of USA 6-3, 6-2 to storm into the men’s singles pre-quarterfinals at the ITF Mysuru Open here on Tuesday.

Rawat, the seventh seed, was clinical in his execution and used his serve to good effect. The Indian had a stunning 100 percent success rate on his first serve, while he collected 95 percent of points on his second serve as well en route to a facile win.

Three other Indians — Ishaque Eqbal, Faisal Qamar and Karan Singh — too entered the round of 16.

While Ishaque beat R Suraj Prabodh 7-6 (4), 6-0, Faisal got the better of Rishi Reddy 6-1, 6-1 and Karan tamed Grigoriy Lomakin of Kazhakistan 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (3) at the Mysore Tennis Club here.

The USD 25,000 event is being hosted by the Karnataka Lawn Tennis Association (KSLTA).

Indian players made their mark in style in the doubles round of 16 as well.
