Turned to be a miserable day for Indians as our challenge is remained in MXD only ... In men's doubles, Purav-Divij broke Ryan in 5th game and kept that advantage for winning this set ... But after that our pair failed to keep momentum and lost the second set in a tie-break ... They were break up at 6-5 but Purav (and Divij also) choked while serving for the match ... After that Ryan-Micjael were too good for our pair in the final set ... Rohan-Pablo also out-performed against 5th seed in the second set after losing the first set in a tie-break.

Sania-Ivan entered into the mixed doubles quarter-final with comfortable straight sets win over Svitolina-Sitak ... Rohan-Gabriela also scored comfortable win over French pair for entering in the quarters and they r facing Sania and Ivan.

Our challenge in the junior singles got over on the first day ... Zeel managed to win 2 games in her match and Abhimanyu managed to win only one ... Our players received hammering and lesson of playing on the clay courts.
