Before this tie begins everyone was convinced that Indian pair definitely going to win this rubber considering our top two doubles players Leander Paes and Rohan Bopanna ...

In 11th game Czech pair took crucial break on Lee;s serve and then hold for winning the set ... In the second set they broke Lee twice for winning it ...
