Sixth seed Sanaa Bhambri of India made a premature exit when she was shocked by unseeded Wing-Yau Chan of Hong Kong 5-7, 6-2, 6-3 in the second round of the Shivaji Park Gymkhana-ITF $10,000 women's tennis tournament, in Mumbai on Wednesday.

Sanaa got off to a shaky start and struggled to win the opening set. Her form deserted her as she was forced into errors. The Indian lost her way as Chan ignored the early setback and snatched the next two sets and the match with crucial breaks.

In contrast, Sanaa's sister and top seed Ankita ended qualifier and compatriot Sonal Phadke's campaign with a comfortable 6-1, 6-2 win to enter the quarter-finals.

Unseeded Pichittra Thongdach of Thailand, no stranger to the Shivaji Park Gymkhana, ended Indian qualifier Geeta Manohar's run with an impressive 6-2, 6-3 win to book a place in the quarter-finals.
