At Wimbledon 2018, London, Great Britain
[QF] Divij Sharan (IND)/ Artem Sitak (NZL) l (7) Mike Bryan (USA)/ Jack Sock (USA) 67(4) 67(5) 76(3) 46
Again slow start for Divij and Artem as they lost the first 2 sets in the tie-breaks against Bryan and Sock ... Both pairs saved a lot of break points but Sock and Bryan played better tie-breaks ... The third set also went to the tie-break, but this time Divij and Artem took control for the start to lead 6-2 ... They converted the 2nd set point for taking the match into the fourth set ... The first break of the match came into the 1st game of the fourth set when Bryan and Sock broke Artem ... Divij and Artem broke back in the 4th game breaking Bryan when he committed foot fault and the double fault on last 2 points ... I felt Artem choked in the 9th game on his serve, after 13 mins of the game he committed two double faults after 6th deuce to lose the game ... Sock held it comfortably for a win ... In this match, Artem struggled with his serve and it cost them dearly in this close match.
