[R1] Purav Raja (IND)/ Marcelo Demoliner (BRA) vs (1) Thomas Berdanek (CZE)/ Lukas Dlouhy (CZE)

Buji lose his doubles match partnering Angelinos against Cerretani-Sijestorm ... In the singles Buji is 8th seed but his current form I m not sure about his performance.

Purav is in the doubles with Demoliner but they r facing topseed Czech pair of multiple grand-slam winner Lukas Dlouhy aqnd his partner Thomas Berdanek ... Before that Purav played in the singles qualifying and gave fighting performance against top-600 type player.

[R1] Sagar Ahuja (IND)/ Tejas Chaukulkar (IND) vs (4) Mark Fynn (ZIM)/ Damon Gooch (RSA)

Another disappointing outing for Akash, who lose his both matches ... In the singles Swedish Adaktusson handed him one-sided loss and in the doubles he lost with Ronak against local wild-card pair in match tie-break ... Sagar also fail to give challenge to his Brazilian opponent.

Ronak took full advantage of weaker opponent.
