(4) Rohan Bopanna (IND)/ Edouard Roger-Vasselin (FRA) bt Jamie Murray (GBR)/ John Peers (AUS) 76(5) 64
Rohan Bopanna and Edouard Roger-Vasselin captured their first ATP World Tour team title at the Japan Open Tennis Championships ... This was Rohan's 9th ATP tour title and Edouard's 6th doubles title ... Rohan-Edouard won the first set in tie-break after both pairs failed to break opponent's serve ...

At $6.2M Shanghai Rolex Masters, China
[Q2] (11) Somdev Devvarman (IND,97) l Tatsuma Ito (JPN,160) 67(6) 06
Another poor loss for Buji against Ito in 72 minutes ... In the first set both players traded break and in tie-break Buji had set point on his server at 6-5 but from here tide changed ... Buji lost next 2 points on his serve and Ito won next point on his serve for winning the first set ... In the second set Buji failed to raise his game and lost his serve thrice to lose the second set ... The way Buji lost the second set I m little worried about his health ... Hoping for not any serious injury threat.
