Matthieu Lo Ying Ping (pictured left), one of the French hopes in this qualifications, was quickly shown the exit by a young and promising Indian player. As expected Eriko Hirose, fresh from her Denmark Open semi-final, didn't give any opportunites to her opponent and cruised to the next round.

The French player seemed to be someone else on court, widely known for his frivolity on court, he was from start to finish, controlled by the indian's precise game. Jayaram played tremendously throughout the two games, great defense met with very technical drop shots, he quickly took the lead, creating a distinctive gap, enabling the French any possible come back. At 17-3, Lo Ying Ping had already given up all hope of a comeback but did start to shows signs of finding the game that had deseted him for the first part of the match.

The second game looked much better than the previous for the French player. Both players were exchanging service, longer rallies took place, the Frenchman even took the lead, giving fresh hope to the French public, but at 12-11 for Lo ying Ping, surprisingly, the fire went out in Lo Ying Ping as he let Jayaram control the remainder of the game and earn the last nine points to the match point, to leave the Frenchman disillusioned. Twenty-one minutes and a severe defeat later, the Frenchman was feeling very angry.
