[Q2] Ramkumar Ramanathan (IND,231) l (21) Daniel Brands (GER,130) 67(5) 67(3)

Doubles
[Q1] (4) Divij Sharan (IND)/ Purav Raja (IND) l Dustin Brown (GER)/ Jan-Lennard Struff (GER) 76(5) 46 6-8

RamK lose really close match against good grass court player Daniel Brands in two tie-breaks ... RamK had multiple break points which he failed to convert in the match ... Tough loss considering all opportunities.

Sad to see in-form pairing of Divij and Purav lose in first qualifying round after giving fighting performance against really good German grass-court pair ... Divij-Purav lost their serve in 1st game but they broke back German pair in 8th games for 4-all ... In tie-break also Divij-Purav were 0-2 mini-break down but they immediately broke back for 2-all ... They had crucial mini-break on 11th point for leading 6-5 and then won next point on their serve for winning this set ... In the second set both players hold their respective service games till 9th game and in 10th game Divij-Purav failed to hold their serve while serving for the set ... In the third set German pair broke Indians in 8th game to lead 3-5 but our pair fought back and broke Germans when they were serving for the match after saving 2 match points ... But German pair took crucial break in 14th game when Divij-Purav were serving for staying in the match and completed victory.
