Lack of match practice costing Lee and Mahesh, if they r really planning to play Olympics together then they need to play a lot regularly.

Doubles
[QF] Vijayant Malik (IND)/ Rupesh Roy (IND) bt (4) Rohan Gajjar (IND)/ Karan Rastogi (IND) W/O
[QF] Kaza Vinayak Sharma (IND)/ Ranjeet Virali-Murugesan (IND) l (3) Yuki Matsuo (JPN)/ Arata Onozawa (JPN) 57 46

[SF] (1) vs Vijayant Malik (IND)/ Rupesh Roy (IND) vs (1) Roman Jebavy (CZE)/ Denys Molchanov (UKR)

No upset scored by our players so only 3 seeded in the quarters ... I m surprised by weird score of Ranjeet, who despite winning a set lost other sets without winning a game ... Kaza also lost easily against Russian ... Karan came back strongly after losing the first set, he only lost a single game in next 2 sets against Rupesh.

Hoping no injury issue to Karan or Rohan as they gave walkover to Rupesh and Viajyant in doubles quarters.
