Lee and Lukas gave very dominating and solid performance to beat Erlich and Ram pair in 1 hr 46 mins short match ... 3rd seed Israeli pair had 8 break-points but couldn't convert single point ... Other hand Lee and Lukas had only 6 chances but they converted 4 times ... Otherwise very consistent performance by our pair to won 101 pts in the match and Israeli managed to win only 75 points.

Pleasently surprising performance by Yuki and his Chinese partner against Aussie pair.
