American Giron stretched Sanam in the second qualifying but Sanam prevailed in three sets ... In the final qualifying Farrukh Dustov won the first set comfortably but Sanam fought back to win the second set tie-break ... In the final set Farrukh Dustov again showed his dominance for a win.

Hopefully third time lucky for Purav-Divij as this is their third tournament in a row as top-seed ... In the first round they r facing very experienced Olivier Rochus with his Belgian partner.
