Doubles
[R1] (Q) Divij Sharan (IND)/ Purav Raja (IND) vs Nicholas Monroe (USA)/ Simon Stadler (GER)
[R1] (8) Mahesh Bhupathi (IND)/ Julien Knowle (AUT) vs Leonardo Mayer (ARG)/ Albert Ramos (ESP)

[R1] (6) Liezel Huber (USA)/ Sania Mirza (IND) vs Renata Voracova (CZE)/ Klara Zakopalova (CZE)

Purav and Divij avoids seeded pair in the first round ... Their opponents r 70s ranking pair so winnable match for them and I m really hoping for a win as they will get chance of facing Mahesh-Julien in the second round ... Mahesh and Rohan also having easier first round pairs with their respective partners ... Lee and Radek having most trickier pair in our lot ... Sania and Liezel r facing Czech pair, this week they lost against Zakopalova and her partner ... So they need to play carefully against this pairing.
