[QF] (5) Rohan Bopanna (IND)/ Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi (PAK) vs Colin Fleming (GBR)/ Ross Hutchins (GBR)

In the first set Sania and Elena had a chance to win it ... They gave 5-2 lead when Sania lost her serve in 9th game and in tie-break they were leading 3-0 before Czech pair won 7 pts from next 8 pts to win the first set ... In the second set our pair wasted a break point in 7th game and again in tie-break Czech pair proved strong to Sania and Elena ... So another disappointing US open for Sania.

Rohan and Aisam dominated the match against Hanley and Norman ... They saved 5 break points on their serves and other hand converted all 3 on opponents serve ... Rohan and Aisam won the first set breaking opponent's serve twice and with a single break they captured the second set ... In quarters they r facing unseeded British pair Fleming and Hutchins, who upset 2nd seed Mirnyi and Nestor in the second round ... They received walkover in their third round match against 13th seed Spanish pair.
