[R3] (4) Mahesh Bhupathi (IND)/ Mark Knowles (BAH) vs (Q) Prakash Amritraj (IND)/ Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi (PAK)

Kash and Aisam take only break of the set in 12th game to won first set ... Kash and Aisam again won second set with a single break ... Kash and Aisam didn't face a single break point on their serve in first 2 sets ... First 2 sets they won in 1 hour and 16 minutes but from here on real fun begins as next 3 sets were going on for more than 3 hours ... Junaid and Marx staged superb fight back in the match after losing first 2 sets ... Junaid and Marx won next 2 sets in tie-break, in both sets this pair gave very solid performance to won tie-breaks dominantly ... 5th set played without tie-break, Prakash and Aisam lost their serve first-time in the match in 11th game of 5th set when Prakash lost his serve ... But then next game was crucial as they needed to win it to stay in Wimbledon and they delivered breaking opponent's serve ... In 14th game our pair was up 0-40 but Junaid and Marx saved 2 match points ... But our pair won 3rd match point to scripted another huge victory in 4 hours and 18 minutes ... Frankly pair of Prakash and Aisam r performaing well as per my expectation as both having game suited to the grass.

Mahesh and Mark take early break and kept that to win it ... In second set Mahesh and Mark r down 1-3 as Petzschner and Peya broke their serve in 4th game ... They had couple of break point chances in 7th game but couldn't convert it, then again they created break point chances in 9th game when they were down 3-5 and this time they broke Petzschner and Peya's serve to bring it back on serve .. Mahehs and Mark broke opponent's serve in 11th game to won second set ... Third set went to tie-break, which Petzschner and Peya won but Mahesh and Mark played solid tennis, with help of a single break they won 4th set and match in 2 hours & 41 minutes.

So these both pairs will face eachother in third round, this will be mouth watering clash for us.
