At last some good news, Lee and Elena reached in the final of Mixed Doubles at Australian Open beating talented Italian pair in super tie-break ... This Italian pair can be medal contender at London Olympics.
In the first set our pair was up with early break in 4th game but Italian pair fought back and won 5 games in a row from 2-5 ... In that they broke our both players service games to won this set ... In the second set again our pair take a break on Italian service game in 6th game and this time our pair again broke Italians in 8th game and won the second set ... IN STB both pairs traded early mini-breaks ... Our pair take control on 11th point with mini-break and then converted 2nd match point to book their place in the final.
Mahesh and Sania had a off day at the office ... Mahesh was struggling in the net and Sania failed to stand up in this situation ... She kept playing from back of the court and her poor serving did not help the cause ... In the first set Mahesh lost his serve and in the second set Sania lost her serve in 7th game before Mahesh losing her serve while staying in the match in 9th game ... Sania need to improve her volleying skill if this pair r hoping any medal chances in Olympics.
