 Kittipong, seeded 13th in the boys event, cruised past Australia's Alex Sanders 6-2 6-2 whereas seventh-seeded Noppawan Lertcheewakarn fought back from 1-5 down in the second set to survive the girls singles second-round clash against Australian Brittany Sheed 1-6 7-6 (7/1) 7-5.

Noppawan later picked up her second win of the day, teaming up with Sophia Mulsap to beat Taiwan's Hao-Ching chan and Japan's Shiho Otake 6-4 6-0 in the girls doubles second round.

However, two other compatriots failed to emulate them. Peerakit Siributwong fell to Japan's  Tadayuki Longhi 4-6 4-6 in the boys and Khunpak Isaara went down to Romania's Simona Halep 0-6 0-6 in the girls singles second round.
