Terrific victory by ex-UVa pair over experienced and former top-5 doubles Israeli pair of Erlich and Ram ...

In this match our pair's 1st serve percentage were above 70%, other hand Israeli pair were struggling with their 1st serve which was only 47% ...

At $50K Lexington Challenger, USA

[R1] (2) Purav Raja (IND)/ Pierre-Ludovic Duclos (CAN) l James Ward (GBR)/ Michael Yani (USA) 62 16 5-10

Purav and his Canadian partner lost after winning the first set ... Purav need to find regular partner to perform and I think Divij is good candidate for that.
