Mixed Doubles

Good win, they dominated 3rd set breaking opponents twice after winning tight first 2 sets ... This is Rohan's first quarter-fial appearence in grand slam ... Also this quarter-final appearence will definetly push Rohan and Aisam's ranking inside top-40, Bops mostly move around top-35 ... Great work guys.

But Mahesh and Max wasn't that lucky ... They started well winning first 2 sets but gave chance to 's-Hertogenbosch doubles champion ... They won third set with break but Mahesh and Max lost chance of finishing match in 4th set and lost set in tie-break ... In decider they gave crucial break in 14th game, last game of the match ... And this Wimbledon turning into disappointed one ... Only notable performance by Rohan and Aisam.

In mixed doubles Lee and Cara having winning start ... Though they lost second set but dominated decider breaking opponents twice in decider.

At$50K Winnetka Challenger,

[R1] (3) Somdev Devvarman (IND,103) l Lester Cook (USA,211) 64 36 46

This match was tricky match for Somi, who had 1-2 career record against Cook before this match ... Today Somi lost opportunity of scoring sounding win over Cook in straight sets ... After winning first set he was break up before losing focus ... Cook mounted superb comeback and managed to won next 2 sets to complete victory ... Other hand Somi struggled due to lack of consistency in his game.
