Lee and Mahesh started positively breaking Treat's serve in 1st game and that break was enough to won the first set ... In the second set both pairs had a break points but they failed to convert it ... Important break came into 11th game when our pair broke Som's serve and then Le hold it to complete the victory ... Good performance by Sommy and Treat to gave tough fight to this multiple grand slams winner pair ... Next Lee and Hesh will be facing 6th seed Polish pair ... Lee already defeated them in MXD with their respective partners so hopefully he will continue that in mens doubles also.

Lee and Elena scored comfortable win in MXD ... They broke Matkowski's serve 4 times in the match and that was enough to win both sets ... Next they r facing young American pair, who r in good nick.
