In tennis, Leander Paes and Mahesh Bhupathi kept themselves on track for a gold in men's doubles by cruising into the semi-finals defeating their Pakistan's Aisam Qureshi and Aqeel Khan in straight sets.

Dalvi added a bronze to India's kitty and earned the country's first medal in the wrestling arena when he beat Kyrgyzstan's Rinat Usupjanov 3-1 with 11 technical points as against 8 by his rival in the 55 kg category.

Geetika got the better of Mongol Odonchimeg Badrakh with a facile 3-0 win in the semi final to move into the gold medal contest in the 63 kg category.

She will take on Japan's Kaori Icho in the final later in the day.

Her teammate Sonia also kept on course for a podium finish by moving up to the bronze medal match against Kyrgystan's Iana Panova in the 72 kg category.

However, two other women freestyle grapplers Neha and Alka Tomar lost their first bouts in the 48 kg and 55 kg categories.
