Yuki-Divij failed to challenge 2nd seeds Marach-Pavic and lost in straight sets ... In the first set, our pair was a break up at 4-2 but failed to sustain and after that, 2nd seed took control of the match.

Turned to be terrible day for Indians, as our both players lost their respective matches ... Divij-Aoyama won the first set, but afterwards Srebotnik-Gonzalez proved a better pair ... Surprised by one-sided loss of Rohan and Babos against Peers and Zhang.

Any idea Jay, why Lee missed out on the French Open? Any injury worries or is it that like the great Roger Federer, he 2 has decided to give the clay court season a miss!

No injury issue, but it seems Lee must be winding up from the tour ... For grand slam he will definitely find partner with his current ranking, #56, but he didn't sign for French Open ... Hopefully he will be interested playing Wimbledon.
