Nagal, who came through the qualifying rounds, could not break the service of his 33-year-old Taipei opponent, a lucky loser in the opening set. 

Jung won a lot of points on his serve and never faced a break point while capturing the first set 6-3. 

The 25-year-old 온라인카지노 raised his level of play and began to return well. He broke his opponent's serve thrice in the second set while losing his own once to level the match.

In the third set, it was Nagal all the way as he landed 75 per cent of his first serves and returned superbly to win the decider without dropping a game. 

Nagal, ranked 506 in the ATP rankings, will take on Great Britain's Jay Clarke (313) in the quarterfinals. 

Clarke defeated eighth-seed Dimitar Kuzmanov 3-6 6-3 6-4 to advance to the next round.

Meanwhile, no.2 seed James Duckworth beat Serbia's Hamad Medjedovic 6-2 7-6 (3) to book his spot in the last eight.

He was joined in the quarterfinals by compatriot Max Purcell, a 7-5 6-3 winner over Petr Nouza of Czech Republic. 

In the doubles, the top-seeded 온라인카지노 duo of Jeevan Neduncheziyan and N Sriram Balaji beat compatriots Nagal and Sasikumar Mukund 7-6(5) 6-0 to sail into the semifinals.
