Dodig and Melo won the third set win same single break advantage ... In this match Dodig and Melo were putting more pressure on Lee and Radek's service games but our pair managed to hung up and won the fourth set in tie-break ... In the fifth set Dodig and Melo were up 4-2 but Lee and Radek roke back in 7th game to bring this set on the serve ... Another rain-break came when Lee was serving at 6-7 down and 30-all ... Bad timing of rain-break and after coming out Melo and Dodig won next 2 points to complete victory.
In the men's doubles second round Mahesh and Rohan struggled against Big serving Russian pair ... After losing the first set with a single break our pair lost the second set in tie-break ... Rai break didn't help them to comeback instead they lost third set and match ... So it was turn very bad day for us as our both pairs lost their matches.
