Lee and Lukas scored super hard fought comeback victory against big serving Americans to moved into quarters ... Mahesh and Max also scored important victory and with that they qualified for season ending Doubles Final tournament at London ... Rohan and Aisam were unlucky as they needed victory in their second round match to qualify for Doubles Final but they lost in one-sided match against experienced doubles players, Knowles and Ram ... So mostly now Rohan and Aisam will be available for their respective countries for Asian games.
