They created 16 break point chances and managed to convert only two ... In the final set also Lee-Jurgen had four match point chances which they failed to convert.

In mixed doubles, Rohan-Ashleigh lost in straight sets against Czech pair ... After losing the first set Mahesh-Casey won the second set comfortably but they lost closely fought match tie-break.
