Sania and Martina r in devastating form to reach in the final at AO ... They won the semis in 54 minutes losing only a game ... They broke Goerges and Pliskova five times and saved all four break points on their service games ... In the final they r facing 7th seed Czech pair, who are two times grand slam winners; 2011 French Open and the 2013 US Open, also 2012 Olympics silver medalists in the doubles.

Rohan again fail to cross semi-final in MXD as he and his Taipei partner lose in straight sets against Huey and Klepac.

Pranjala and Karma's terrific run is ended in the third round of the singles and they also get upset by local pair in the quarters of the doubles ... Pranjala put good performance against talented Russian girl Potapova but lose both tight sets ... Karman started well against Sara Tomic after winning the first set but afterwards Sara kept fighting and took crucial breaks in both sets for winning the match.
