Day 5 at the Championship turned good for us ... Our all pairs won their matches in 3 sets ... Most surprising win was by Sommy and Kei against experienced German pair.

Sania and Elena had a good start ... They broke opponents in 2nd game and though they failed to hold their serves in next game still they again broke opponents in 4th game to lead 4-1 ... Then both pairs hold their serves but our pair had break point chances which they didn't take ... They converted 3rd set point to won the first set ... In the second set our pair started with breaking opponents serve in 1st game but they failed to hold their serve in 4th game to bring the set back on serves ... Voracova and Voskoboeva broke our pair in 12th game to won the second set ... In the third set both pairs were holding their serve until Sania and Elena take crucial break in 9th game and then served out to moved into the third round.

Mahesh and Lee had tricky match against big serving and hard hitting Croatians ... Our pair managed to hold their serves but in tie-break Croatian proved little strong to win this tight tie-break ... In the second set our pair take a single break to win it and in decider also they take crucial break in 9th game and then hold their serve to moved into the second round ... Next they r facing Lee's ex-doubles partner Dlouhy and Frenchman Clement.

Sommy and Kei played really well against vetreans Germans ... They lost the first set in tie-break but won next two sets comfortably to book their second round match against 6th seed Zimo and Llodra.
