Day 3 schedule of play Tata Open
After we recapped the previous day's it's time to look at what tennis fans can watch today in Pune. Most matches today will be from round 2 but there is one from round one. The round 1 matchup will feature Taro Daniel from Japan against Sasi Kumar Mukund who will be looking to give the local Pune fans a reason to celebrate. Besides them, the fans will be able to see the 2nd and 3rd speed on the courts.
Ricardas Berankis who is the 2nd seed will face Cedrik-Marcel Stebe who advanced after beating Karlovic in the previous round. It won't be an easy match for the Lithuanian but he should still win as he is having a good start to the season. Stefano Travaglia who is the 3rd set is set to play against Ilya Ivashka. Stefano is a clay-court specialist who can play on hard courts. His opponents' favourite surface is hardcourts so despite the ranking Ivashka could be considered the favourite on the hard courts of Pune.
