Tennis News
At $220K MPS Group Championships, Ponte Vedra Beach, USA (Green Clay)

[R1] (7) Alona Bondarenko (UKR,37) l Sania Mirza (IND,100) 46 36

No firework from Sania and lost in straight sets against top-40 player ... Though match was on green clay still it gave indication that Sania still way long from her best performance.

At $50K Lousiana Challenger, Baton Rouge, USA

[Q2] Somdev DevVarman (IND)/ Treat Conrad Huey (PHI) bt Ricardas Berankis (LTU)/ Karlis Lejnieks (LAT) 63 61

[R1] Harsh Mankad (IND)/ Scott Oudsema (USA) bt (2) Sanchai Ratiwatana (THA)/ Sonchat Ratiwatana (THA) 64 63
[R1] (Q) Somdev DevVarman (IND)/ Treat Conrad Huey (PHI) vs Alex Bogdanovic (GBR)/ Conor Niland (IRL)

And as per my expectation Harsh and Oudsema scored straight sets victory against 2nd seed Ratiwatanas to move into quarters ... Som in company of his college mate Huey moved into maindraw with another easy victory in doubles final qualifying.
