[SF] Harsh Mankad (IND)/ Brian Battistone (USA) bt Jamie Delgado (GBR)/ Jonathan Marray (GBR) 46 63 10-8

Harsh and Brian lost first set against Britishers but our pair won second set to take match into super tie-break ... In super tie-break they were down and needed to comeback but produced very clinical performance when they were 6-8 down winning last 4 points ... At 9-8 they first time take lead in super tie-break breaking Britisher's service before holding their to win this match ... So with that Harsh is in another final.

And mostly first-time Harsh will enter into top-100 doubles ranking.

Surprisingly straight sets victory for Vishnu against Yuki against whom he struggled in the past ... In the semis he is facing wild-card local player who defeated top-seed player.

After losing first set Divij produced good fight but Karan managed to keep upper hand over his Indian opponent to scored win ... In semis Karan facing Milton, who r in form last few weeks producing good results in Great Britain futures ... Last week also he reached in the final ... Still I m hoping for all Indians final.
