When you serve well, you always win matches. I think the serve was the key,\u201d Ymer said after his match.<\/p>\n<p>World No. 163 Ymer started strongly in the tie-breaker by racing to a 3-0 lead and then maintained his fine touch to complete a sensational victory and sent Karatsev packing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe (Elias) played well. I didn\u2019t start the match well and tried to find a solution in the second set to get back into the game,\u201d Karatsev said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the defending champion Jiri Vesely, who received opening-round bye, started his campaign with a confident 6-3, 6-4 win against Bernabe Zapata Miralles.<\/p>\n<p>Sixth-seeded Emil Ruusuvuori also had an easy outing against qualifier Vit Kopriva, securing a 6-3, 6-3 victory during a lopsided last-16 contest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Later in the evening, star Indian singles player Yuki Bhambri will look to secure a quarter-final berth as he is set to take on eight-seed Stefano Travaglia in the second-round of the tournament which is being owned by IMG and operated by RISE Worldwide in India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the doubles match played late on Wednesday night, N Sriram Balaji and Vishnu Vardhan defeated compatriots Arjun Kadhe and Purav Raja 6-1, 6-4 in the opening round.<\/p>\n<p>The Indian duo of Balaji and Vardhan, which made it into the main draw as an alternate pair, has now entered into the semi-finals as their opponents Gianluca Mager and Emil Ruusuvuori withdrew from the last-eight match due to an injury to the former.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pune: Sweden\u2019s Elias Ymer stunned top-seed and World No. 15 Aslan Karatsev of Russia in straight sets to storm into the quarter-finals of the 2022 Tata Open Maharashtra at the Balewadi Stadium in Pune on Thursday.
