In tie-break Somi take early lead of 5-2 with double break but Jerzy broke next 2 Somi's serve to make it 4-5 ... Jerzy won 5 points in a row from 1-5 down to lead 6-5 ... Both players had set points on their respective serves ... Jerzy had 3 set points but Somi was also holding his serve in crucial points and converted 4th set point to won this long tie-break ... The first set was going for 79 minutes ... In the second set also Somi created break point chances early but failed to convert ... Somi broke Jerzy at love in 7th game to lead 4-3 ... In 9th game on Jerzy's serve Somi had 3 set points at 0-40 ... Jerzy saved 2 set points but Somi converted 3rd set point to won the second set ... In the third set Jerzy broke Somi at love in 1st game ... Somi had couple of break points at 15-40 in next game but failed to convert it ... Jerzy again broke Somi in 3rd game to lead 0-4 ... Jerzy broke Somi in 7th game to won the third set ... In the fourth set also Jerzy broke Somi in 2nd game to lead 3-0 ...

But in 12th game serving for staying in the match Somi struggled with his serve ... Somi's 3 lobs went out ... Somi missed 2 game points but Jerzy converted 2nd match point for fighting win ... After second set couple of times trainer came on the court for Somi's shoulder trouble ... So it looks he was struggling with his serve due to his shoulder ... In last three sets he was serving in between 130 kmph to 160 kmph speed ... Missed opportunity for Somi but still creditable fighting performance ... Remarkable fightback after 2-5 down in 5th set and at that time Jerzy was dominating for last 2 and half sets ... This match was over after 4 hours.
Terrible loss for Sania and Bethanie in the first round against Spanish pair ... After winning the title in the first week of season I ahd big hope from this pair at Australian open.
Comfortable winning start against Spanish pair for old pairing of Mahesh and Daniel ... Rohan and Rajeev also scored similar score-line win over wild-card Aussie pair ... Next they r facing Italian pair.
