All Indians out of Junior US Open
Meanwhile, the promising Maaya Rajeshwaran Revathi gave a scare to second seed Hannah Klugman of Britan before going down in the girls singles second round 7-6 (1) 4-6 6-3. She battled for two hours and two minutes.
Maaya had an opportunity to break Klugman when the British player was serving for the match but she found a way to survive, consistently attacking the backhand of the Indian.
Later, Maaya also bowed out of the doubles event along with partner Laima Cinalli, going down 2-6 2-6 to fourth seeds Luna Vladson and Jeline Vandromme.
Hitesh Chauhan and Krish Tyagi also lost their respective boys doubles second round matches to exit the tournament.
