The Indian tennis duo Arjun Kadhe and Vijay Sundar Prashanth knocked out second seeds Jakob Schnaitter and Mark Wallner in straight sets to advance to the semi-finals of the Swiss Open in Gstaad, Switzerland.

The unseeded Indians shocked the higher-ranked Germans 6-3, 7-6 (7-5) in the quarter-finals of the clay court tournament.

The Indian pair got an early break to go up 3-1 but dropped serve to let go of the advantage. However, they put the Germans under the pump one more time to take a 5-3 lead and earn an opportunity to nose ahead in the quarter-final contest. Kadhe came out to serve for the opening set and did the job after losing two points.
