[R2] (2) Cara Black (ZIM)/ Leander Paes (IND) vs Su-Wei Hsieh(TPE)/ Bruno Soares(BRA) 75 0-2 (match postponed due to rain/darkness)

Leander and Lukas scored straight sets victory over unseeded pair to move into quarter-final at French Open ... This match was lot easier for them considering last 2 matches.

But other hand Rohan and Aisam lost against French seeded pair in second round ... In first set they fought until end but in second gave early break to lose match.

[R1] Somdev Devvarman (IND,108) vs Qualifier

Doubles
[[R1] Somdev Devvarman (IND)/ Treat Conrad Huey (PHI) vs (WC) Marek Jaloviec (CZE)/ Michal Konecny (CZE)

Somdev playing on clay instead of playing at Nottingham Challenger on the grass ... In my view he should chosen to play on the grass in preparation of Queens and Wimbledon qualies.
