On Saturday rain interrupted schedule and for Indians only Lee and Sania manage to finish their respective doubles matches ... But Lee and Sania had contrasting results in their respective matches ... Sania-Cara started well and won the first set comfortably ... In the second set Sania-Cara had opportunity finish this match in two sets ... They had 6 match points in 10th game which they failed to convert ... After that they had few more match points in tie-break but again failed to convert ... After winning the second set Pavlyuchenkova-Safarova looks more confident and that reflected in their game ... Pavlyuchenkova-Safarova broke Saina-Cara in 10th game for completing upset win.

Lee-Radek need to dig deep before winning their match for entering into the third round ... Lee-Radek struggled from start against Gonzalez-Lipsky ... Gonzalez-Lipsky won the first set with a single break but Lee-Radek responded well and won next set with double break ... Gonzalez-Lipsky again won the third set to take 2-1 sets lead ... When needed Lee-Radek raised their game and won the fourth set with a single break advantage ... In the fifth set both pairs tried their best and Lee-Radek prevailed winning this set after long 20 games ... Really good win for Lee-Radek.
