Our players continued with winning ways in doubles ... Sania and Elena won their second round to move into next where they r facing Czech pair ... Lee and Hesh won in straight sets against big servers ... Next they r facing dangerous floaters Sommy and Treat ... Sommy and Treat scored comfortable win over 14th seed Argentine pair ... Rohan and Aisam needed two tie-breaks to scored win over James Cerretani and Philipp Marx ... Next they r facing tricky pair of Dick Norman and Paul Hanley.

But in MXD only Lee and Elena managed to move in quarters ... They scored win in super tie-break against Yung-Jan Chan and Fyrstenberg ... Next they r facing Govortsova and Matkowski ... But 5th seed Rohan and Vania King lost in the first round.

In junior singles qualifying our both players lost in straight sets against lower ranked opponents ... Disappointing performance.

Eventual Argentine pair proved too strong for Purav and Olivier.

[QF] (Q) N.Sriram BALAJI (IND,1328) l (1) Jorge AGUILAR (CHI,237) 46 76(8) 36

What a fighting performance from Balaji against top-250 Chilean player ... After losing the first set he fought hard to won the second in tightly fought tie-break ... Aguilar won the decider but this performance will give huge confidence boost to Balaji for future.
