Another epic win for Divij and Ivo ... After winning the first set they lost the second set ... Then both pairs played monstrous match tie-break ... Both pair didn't giving any chance to other pair and after 9-all both pairs didn't face a single break point before Divij-Ivo's winning on 36th point ... They saved four match point and this was season's longest match tie-break ... Ivo is still in the singles so tricky doubles match for our pair against American pair ... Prakash-Sam gave walkover to French pair due to elbow injury to Querrey.
