Sania started with breaking Agnieszka's serve in 1st game but then se couldn't hold her serve ... She again broke Agnieszka's serve into 7th game but in the first set she failed to hold her serve once ... Had poor serving day as she had 5 double faults ... In second set again Sania started with breaking Agnieszka's serve in 1st game and then first time in the match she hold her serve to take 2-0 lead ... Agnieszka broke her in 4th game to make it 2-all ... Again Sania broke Agnieszka in 5th game before losing her serve in 6th game ... Agnieszka take crucial break in 10th game to complete easy voctory.

In first round doubles Lee and Mahesh had bad start due to lack of match practice ... Their German opponents take full advantage of that and they broke Indians twice to won first set ... From second set our pair started fightback and with a single break they won second set ... In decider our pair were control from the start and they broke Haas and Petzschner's serve once to won set comfortably.

In doubles Somdev and Lu lost their serve in 2nd game and with that a single break they lost the first set against experienced Spanish pai ... In second set also Spanish pair take early break in 3rd game .. And that early break was enough for Spanish pair to complete win with winning the second set ... So with that end of the French Open for Sommy.

Rohan and Aisam started confidently with their French open campaign with dominating win over Italian clay-court specialist pair losing only 5 games.

Disappointing loss for Rohan and Sania in mixed doubles ... In the first set they were break up at 4-1 but then they gave chance to opponent's fightback ... And then lost both sets in tie-breaks.
