[R2] (5) Karman Thandi (IND)/ Pranjala Yadlapalli (IND) vs Siqi Cao (CHN)/ Jia Ren (CHN)

Sania-Martina's terrific run continues with another dominating win against experienced players like Vinci and Kuznetsova ... In the quarters they r facing 12th seed Groenefeld and Vandeweghe.

Rohan and Yung-Jan score excellent comeback win over Kubot and Hlavackova ... In the quarters they r facing Huey and Klepac, this time I am hoping he will overcome challenge of Huey and his partner.

I think this is the first occasion that our two singles girls are in the third round of any grand slam at same time ... Karman and Pranjala score straight sets win over their respective opponents but for the third round their real test will start ... Pranjala is facing talented 14 yrs old Russian girl Potapova ... Karman is facing Sara Tomic, who is younger sister of Bernard Tomic and already top-450 type player on WTA tour.

In the doubles also Karman and Pranjala start with comfortable win against local pair ... Next they r facing Chinese pair.
