[R2] (9) Lukas Dlouhy (CZE)/ Leander Paes (IND) vs Eric Butorac (USA)/ Ashley Fisher (AUS)

Superb hard fought five setter against local pair for 9th seeds ... Match was going for almost 3 hrs, though Lee and Lukas won more points than Britishers but Brits were winning important points. (161 pts - 129 pts) ... So very important win for Lee and Lukas in this tricky match, but they r having another tricky second round match against grass court specialist.

Bops and Aisam scored their first victory in grandslam as doubles pair against 10th seed Poles in straight sets ... Very solid performance by Indo-Pak pair in 1 hr 51 mins to win against seeded pair ... Poles couldn't converted single break point from 4 break points chances ... Other hand our pair converted 3 break points from 14 break points chances in clinical display.

Doubles -
[R1] DEV VARMAN Somdev (IND)/ HUEY Treat (USA) bt (1) FUGATE Marcus (USA)/ HEALEY Nathan (AUS) 64 62
[QF] DEV VARMAN Somdev (IND)/ HUEY Treat (USA) vs OUELLETTE Gregory (USA)/ WILLIAMS Rhyne (USA)

After watching 60 60 score I m still not controlling laughing ... Poor Adolfo ... So Somi started with big bang for his professional career after finishing the college ... Somi truly announced his entry on the professional curcuit ... Now all players in the draw must take notice of him ... In next round he can meet his ex-team-mate and doubles partner Treat Huey.

In doubles also he and Huey tamed their top-seed opponents.
