Terrific results for us in French open as Sania and Leander r in the final of MXD with their respective partners after winning two matches in a day.

In the semis ania-Dodig faces young talented 3rd seed French pair ... As expected this turn to be tough match ... After losing the first set Sania-Dodig made comeback for winning the second ... In match tie-break Sania-Dodig took 6-1 lead but from 8-5 they lost next 4 points for 8-9 down but they saved with big serve from Dodig and then converted 2nd match point for excellent win ... Before that Sania-Dodig won quarter-final against Max-Chan in another super tie-break.

Lee-Martina started solidly against Hlavackova and Roger-Vasselin ... But after winning the first set they gave momentum to Hlavackova and Roger-Vasselin ... In match tie-break after facing early mini-break Lee-Martina took control and kept that lead for winning this match ... Before this Lee-Martina scored comfortable straight sets win over Soares and Vesnina.

Incredible comeback by Karman and Jaimee in their second round match against Americans ... They saved 3 match points when they were down 64 5-3 and 40-15 to turn this match around ... They mon ext 4 games for winning the set and then completed win after winning tight super tie-break.
