[R2] (Q) Karunuday Singh (IND,103) vs (10) Tsung-Hua Yang (TPE,19)

Very impressive win by 2R or Banglore Bombers ... May be they played uglier (making silly errors) tennis but considering their lack of experiance of playing higher level we should expect that ... Still they produced win over seasoned 'new' pair is very commandable ... Hats off to them ... Lee's loss was hurting but then one should blame for his doubles partner selection ... So today I m very happy for Rohan and Rajeev, for me this is 'the' break which Rohan was waiting for ... Kudos to him ... With this 2 wins here Roahn will definetly move near to top-50 of doubles ranking.

Also happy for Yuki and Karuuday's first win in the Junior grandslam ... I m sure many more wins will follow.

Good start for Sania and Mahesh in MXD, but now they r having tough match against 2nd seed pair of Lisa Raymond (USA)/ Simon Aspelin (SWE).

In mens doubles Mahesh and Mark Knowles facing Polish pair 11th seed Mariusz Fyrstenberg (POL)/ Marcin Matkowski (POL).
