At US Open 2011, New York

[R1] Somdev Devvarman (IND)/ Treat Conrad Huey (PHI) bt Igor Andreev (RUS)/ Igor Kunitsyn (RUS) 63 64

Mixed Doubles
[R1] (6) Sania Mirza (IND)/ Mahesh Bhupathi (IND) l Lucie Hradecka (CZE)/ Frantisek Cermak (CZE) 36 67(5)

Very happy for Sommy and Treat for their first grandslam win as a pair ... They won their matche with Russian Igors with ease.

Had high hope for MXD pairing of Mahesh and Sania but they lost in the first round ... After losing first set they take early lead and were leading 5-2 but failed to capitalized on that ... Poor outing becoz they missed numerous chances.
