[R2] Rajeev Ram (USA)/ Bobby Reynolds (USA) vs Stephen Huss (AUS)/ Ross Hutchins (GBR)

Surprising loss for Rohan and Aisam after good first round victory ... But good easy start for Sania and Bethanie, also for Rajeev and Bobby in mens doubles.

Mahesh and Mark lost their first round match in straight sets ... Another shocking result, this loss may be due to lack of match practice togather in grass season or Hesh's ongoing injury.

Other hand Lee and Lukas showed very clinical performance against tricky pair to win match in straight sets.
