Solid win for Lee-Radek ... They dominated the match though some hiccup in the second set as Lee and Radek both lost their service games ... But still they managed to broke Bracciali twice and Dolgopolov once to win that set and match ... Next they r facing wild-card pair Yuki-Venus.

Sania-Cara dominated the second set after winning tight first set ... Next they r facing unseeded pairing of Canadian Eugenie Bouchard and Russian Vera Dushevina.

Rohan and Aisam needed three sets for a win ... After losing the first set they take control of the match and won next two sets comfortably ... Next they r facing tricky pair of Huey-Inglot.

Mahesh-Rajeev lost their match against 2nd seed Peya-Soares in two sets ... After losing the first set they managed to take the second set in tie-break ... In tie-break Mahesh-Rajeev were 3 match points down at 3-6 ... They saved all 3 match points and had a set point at 7-6 but Rajeev missed simple cross-court shot and then Peya-Soares converted 4th match point.

In MXD, Katarina-Rohan started with comfortable win against Huey-Kops-Jones ... Next they r facing local pair.

Sania-Horia Tecau needed comeback for winning this match in the match tie-break.

In juniors horrible start as our all players lost in their respective singles matches in straight sets ... Now they r only in the doubles draw.
