India's Ankita Bhambri failed to make it to the quarter-finals in the $10,0000 ITF women's tournament in Delhi.

On Wednesday, the Indian ace conceded her second round match to Montinee Tangphong of Thailand after suffering an ankle injury. Bhambri was trailing 3-6, 0-3 when she threw in the towel.

She had defeated Maya Rosa of Indonesia in the opening round.

Joining Tangphong in the last eight stage was Iciri Rai, who upset eighth seeded Diana Julianto of Indonesia 6-3, 6-3 in another second round match

In other matches, seventh seed Giorgia Mortello outplayed Ukrane's Oxana Lyubtsova 6-1, 6-4 to qualify for the last eight stage.

Only three matches were held today due to unexpected rain and bad weather.

The top three seeds, Isha Lakhani, Rushmi Chakravarthi and Megha Vakharia, are yet to play their second round matches.
