Lee and Radek scored straight sets win over seeded Italian pair ... After winning the first set easily they stretched to tie-break in the second but they won it with a mini-break ... Next they r facing biggest test against very experienced 3rd seed pair of Llodra and Zimo.

In MXD, Mahesh and Saina started with comfortable win .. Rohan and Lisa also gave very solid performance as they won losing only single game.

As per report our all junior players lost in the final qualifying ... Disappointed with Ramkumar's performance.
