India stormed into the semifinals of the World Junior Tennis Competition for Asia Oceania Qualification after routing Hong Kong 3-0 in New Delhi on Thursday.

The Indians will now be up against Korea in the last four stage.

The team of Mohit Myor Jaya Prakash, Rohit Bisht and Sai Kartik Naki Reddy did not drop a single set as they registered comfortable wins in the singles and doubles matches.

Mohit started the day for the team and hardly put a foot wrong as he beat Kwun Ho Kong 6-3, 6-2 to wrest the early initiative for the Indians.

Rohit then continued from where Mohit had left off and dropped just one game before outplaying Chak Ting Justin Ho 6-1, 6-0 to give the hosts an unassailable 2-0 lead in the rubber.

Mohit than teamed up with Kartik to complete the rout with a 6-1, 6-4 win over Kwun and Siu Fai Lam in the doubles match.
