Very contrasting wins for Sania and Rohan with their respective partners in the MXD first round ... In super tie-break Rohan-Gabriela were down but they won 8 points out of last 11 points played for winning this match.

Zeel scored really good win against local player, who was supported by local supporters but Zeel kept her composure for winning the match ... Other hand Siddhant failed to rise under pressure of local supporters to Aussie player ... He was set up and 5-2 up in the second ... He had 3 match points 40-0 on his own serve but he failed to convert those ... He lost the second set in tie-break but again he was up 5-2 in the final set ... Again he lost last 5 games for losing his match.
