Mixed Doubles
[R1] Mahesh Bhupathi (IND)/ Daniela Hantuchova (SVK) l Mark Knowles (BAH)/ Sabine Lisicki (GER) 76(2) 46 46

Lee-Radek completed victory in four sets after match re-started ... They won the second set with a break but lost next set in tie-break ... In the fourth set our pair take crucial break in 10th game when Bracciali-Erlich were serving for staying in the match ... Good win by Lee-Radek against potentially dangerous pairing of Bracciali-Erlich and also considering Radek's hamstring injury ... They r facing another good grass court pair in the next round, Britisher Jamie Delgado and Aussie Matthew Ebden.

Rohan-Edouard were leading 2 sets to 1 when match suspended due to rain ... They started positively and won the first set comfortably against German-Czech pair ... But Brands-Rosol fought back to won the second with crucial break in 12th game ... In the third set both pairs tried but Rohan-Edouard managed to win tie-break.

After winning the first set in tie-break Mahesh-Daniela failed to keep momentum and lost next two sets with a single break ... I was hoping better Wimbledon for Mahesh-Daniela.
