Mixed Doubles
[SF] (7) Elena Vesnina (RUS)/ Leander Paes (IND) l Melanie Oudin (USA)/ Jack Sock (USA) walkover
Frankly I was hoping title from Lee and Mahesh but last 2 days rain-break broke their momentum ... Before this match they were looking nice gelled unit but in this match they failed to convert opportunities ... In the match they wasted 2 break points on Polish serve and other hand Polish pair converted only break point they got in 10th game of the first set ... After losing the first set our pair were up with mini-break in tie-break but then as per news Leander injured himself during the first point which they won ... A therapist came on the court to help Lee for his back spasms but Lee was feeling pain in his back ... After that he couldn't serve properly and just kept throwing before they lost the tie break and match ... As expected Elena Vesnina and Leander Paes withdrew from semi finals of mix doubles due to Lee's back spasms.
British pair gave very tough fight to Rohan and Aisam, still our pair managed to win the tight first set ... In the second British pair broke our pair serve twice to won it comfortably ... In the decider set British pair were leading with early break ... They were 5-3 up when Rohan and Aisam started fight back with big shots ... They broke British pair twice to take 6-5 lead but rain stopped match when Aisam was serving for the match and were down 15-30.
