Fourth-seeded Indian Rohan Gajjar, finalist in the last ITF tournament a month ago, looked rusty and was upstaged in the first round this time around by compatriot N Vijay Sundar Prashanth, 6-7(5), 4-6, in the $10,000 tournament at the DLTA complex ON Tuesday.

Gajjar looked listless as he frittered away break opportunities in both the sets. Prashanth, on the other hand, came out with stunning returns of serve and clean passes to mount Gajjar's errors.
