Kalaburagi (Karnataka), Nov 21 (PTI) Fourth seeded Indian Karan Singh produced a clinical effort to beat compatriot Nitin Kumar Sinha to enter the quarterfinals of the ITF Kalaburagi Open here on Thursday.
Karan won 6-4 6-3, as three more Indian players sailed into the last eight stage.

However, it was curtains for local man SD Prajwal Dev as Russian Bogdan Bobrov took him in his stride.
The 27-year-old's workmanlike 6-2 6-3 victory over an error-prone Indian powered him into the quarterfinals. He takes on Aryan next.
