Doubles
[QF] (5) Sania Mirza (IND)/ Cara Black (ZIM) l (1) Su-Wei Hsieh (TPE)/ Shuai Peng (CHN) 26 63 36

Again Sania-Cara fail to overcome WR #1 pair Hsieh-Peng and lose their match in three sets ... After losing the first set Sania-Cara fought back to win the second but they failed to keep momentum in the third ...

[R1] Purav Raja (IND)/ Marcelo Demoliner (BRA) l (1) Thomas Berdanek (CZE)/ Lukas Dlouhy (CZE) 46 46

This is horrible loss of Buji ... Michon destroyed him in this one-sided match ... Buji need to regain his confidence before grass and US hard court season, otherwise it will be difficult for him to retain his ranking inside top-100.

Purav-Marcelo lose in the straight sets against top-seed Czech pair.
