[QF] (2) Harsh Mankad (IND)/ Treat Huey (PHI) bt Dominic Inglot (GBR)/ Rylan Rizza (USA) 36 76(5) 10(7)

[SF] (2) Harsh Mankad (IND)/ Treat Huey (PHI) vs (4) Martin Emmrich (GER)/ Andreas Siljestrom (SWE)

Very good comeback victory for Harsh and Treat against talented tricky UVa pair ... So another semi-final for them but there they r facing big challenge of Martin Emmrich and Andreas Siljestrom ... This pair is currently hottest pair on challenger level ... Emmrich and Siljestrom are on a 10 matches winning streak in challengers with winning last 2 weeks titles at Charlottesville and Knoxville ... But I feel our team is capable of breaking their hot streak.

Rajeev and David lost their doubles match in super tie-break against Battistones.
