Lee and Radek struggled in the beginning and 2nd seed Mirnyi and Nestor take full advatage of it ... They broke Radek and Lee twice to won the first set ... From the second set Radek and Lee came back into the match ... They started to put pressure on 2nd seed pair's serve and take crucial break in 7th game on Mirnyi's serve ... With that single break they captured the second set ... In the decider Lee and Radek take early break in 3rd game breaking Nestor's serve ... They managed to double their break advantage breaking Mirnyi's serve in 5th game to lead 4-1 ... In 5th game Lee had poor service game and Radek also made couple of mistakes at the net which cost them this service game ... After tthis break Mirnyi and Nestor tried to put pressure on Radek and Lee's serve but they both hold their serice games in 8th and 10th games to completed superb comeback victory ... In the final they will face top seed Bryans.
Frankly I was expecting this win by Lee and Elena, as a pair they r looking formidable on the court ... But I wasn't expecting such a one-sided match ... Lee and Elena take early lead with double break breaking Lisa and Rohan's serve, 4-1 ... In the second set Lee and Elena broke Lisa's serve in 3rd and 7th games and won this also very comfortably ... In this match Lee was simply amazingly good at the net ... In the semis they r facing unseeded Italian pair ... In other semis Mahesh and Sania will face 8th seed pair of Mattek-Sands and Tecau.
In junior doubles semi-final American pair proved too strong for Rutuja and her Indonesian partner ... They managed to win only 4 games in 2 sets.
