Doubles
[R1] Prakash Amritraj (IND)/ Brendan Evans (USA) vs Andre Begemann (GER)/ Matthew Ebden (AUS)

Prakash lost in 3 sets ... After winning first set he was down 2-4 in second but fought back breaking back Ward service game ... Ward won second set in tie-break and then completed victory winning third set ... I think that second qualifying round take toll on him ... He failed to finish in 2 sets then it was tough for him keeping same energy level in 6th set of the day.
