At Wimbledon 2013, London, Great Britain
Doubles
[R1] (Q) Divij Sharan (IND)/ Purav Raja (IND) l Nicholas Monroe (USA)/ Simon Stadler (GER) 76(4) 62 36 46 46
Heartbreaking loss for Purav and Divij against Monroe and Stadler in five setter ... Divij and Purav started well breaking Monroe and Stadler early but Monroe and Stadler fought back to break back in 7th game ... Divij and Purav kept their cool in tie-break for winning the first set ... Divij and Purav dominated the second set and won it with double break but from the third set picture started turning ... Monroe and Stadler used their all experience of playing on ATP tour and made excellent comeback ... They won next three sets with a single break and I would say they gave little lesson to Purav and Divij that the match is never finished until someone wins it.
